Open source powers the modern world, yet many organizations still misunderstand how it works. In this SharkFest’25 EUROPE keynote, Kelley Misata explores why OSS is often dismissed as “free,” who is expected to maintain it, and what happens when critical tools like Wireshark, Suricata, and other community driven projects are taken for granted. This talk breaks down the myths, the real risks, and the responsibility we all share in sustaining the open source ecosystem that keeps networks secure and organizations running. Watch the keynote now and join the conversation. Want to learn directly from the Wireshark community? Join us at SharkFest’26 US in Nashville next July.
