TuxCare, a global innovator in securing open source, has released its 2026 Open Source Landscape Report. The third annual report provides insights into how organizations are actually running open-source software (OSS) in production, including what security incidents they've experienced, how they are managing Linux patches and vulnerabilities, and how they are tracking OSS lifecycle and supply chain risks.
Why it matters
The report offers a rare, practitioner-focused view into the real-world challenges and trends around enterprise open-source adoption and security. The findings highlight the persistent challenges organizations face in keeping open-source environments secure and up-to-date, even as OSS use continues to grow.
The details
The report's key findings include: 47.8% of respondents reported experiencing a cybersecurity incident in the past 12 months, with 61.4% of those incidents occurring when a patch was available but not applied. The report also found that internal tracking tools often fail to reveal OSS lifecycle risks early, underscoring the need for clear ownership, review cadences, and accountability around OSS management.
- The report was released on February 18, 2026.
- The data was gathered throughout Q4 2025.
