Robust source evaluation minimises the chance of crying wolf, or warning of the wrong threat entirely.

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it.
