Given that there's not only software bugs, but the hardware ones, I wonder how secure it would be. I personally hate their software, but still, it would be nice to know.

P.S. Security without open-sourcing is impossible. Although, dunno how for other countries, but here in Russia some people have a different point of view.

Some people believe that “opensource is insecure by design, because everyone can see the code”. Probably Kaspersky has the same point.

Kaspersky is too smart to have such point, but their target markets might require different marketing.
> Security without open-sourcing is impossible

is just as documented an assertion as

> opensource is insecure by design

The two are completely orthogonal.

Those were two different opinions. First is mine, the second is my interviewer's.
