All the open source security you need?
There's a list of 75 good open source security applications, on eSecurity Planet. OK, some of them are variations or extensions of each other, but that's quite a lot to look through...
The list covers encryption, anti-virus, VPN, remote administration and plenty of other aspects of security.
If nothing else, the list - which we found linked from Linux Today - is a strong argument in favour of open source within security, and evidence of its increasing presence there: a year ago, the site's list of recommendations only reached ten apps.
