When an enterprise chooses to build an open source Bastion Host, it has the characteristics of low initial investment and flexible use. But building an open source Bastion Host isn't really free and secure. Xiaobian found that users in the construction of open source Bastion Host understanding, there are the following five common mistakes, let's take a look.

Myth 1: Is Open Source Bastion Host Completely Free?

In fact, open source Bastion Host only has the most basic functions or part of the usage quota is free. Once it involves deeper security requirements of enterprises, it is necessary to pay extra fees to open source Bastion Host manufacturers to obtain higher usage quota and complete Bastion Host functions.

Mistake 2: Is the Open Source Bastion Host Safe?

Open source Bastion Host also means that there are security threats and potential vulnerabilities brought about by openness, just like Dedecms, not black you, but you are not fat enough.

If an enterprise uses an open source Bastion Host, its services, software and products may not be able to apply for sales license, grade protection or even gain customer trust. If there is a problem with the open source Bastion Host you use, the original service provider has no responsibility.

Mistake 3: Does Open Source Bastion Host Need Secondary Development?

Building an open source Bastion Host is to save money for the boss, but it increases his workload in vain. Most open source Bastion Host functions are relatively simple and can meet the most basic enterprise security requirements. If we want to further play the true value of Bastion Host or use Bastion Host well, then customized development according to the company's business is the only way. You need to be familiar with Linux and Python.

Myth 4: Free Open Source Bastion Host Does the merchant provide after-sales support?

Open source Bastion Host is free to use, open source does not provide any after-sales service, its own update cycle is long or even stops updating, and the security risks caused by vulnerabilities are not repaired in time.

Myth 5: Where is the charging trap of Open Source Bastion Host?

If you are not competent for maintenance and secondary development work, you can also contact the merchant service, but you need to pay a high technical support service fee, this model is a bit similar to the printer and toner cartridge routine, the printer price is very cheap, but the printer after-sales maintenance service and replacement toner cartridge cost is the real cost.

It can be seen that building a free and open source Bastion Host is only suitable for individuals or small teams to barely use, so the mainstream choice of enterprises at this stage is to choose expensive hardware Bastion Host or relatively cheap cloud Bastion Host!

At the end: Although the initial cost of building an open source Bastion Host is small, the cost of later maintenance and secondary development cannot be ignored. Instead of choosing the open-source Bastion Host with higher cost in the later stage, Xiao Bian thinks it is better to choose the cloud Bastion Host with relatively cheap price. For example, Xingyun Butler Cloud Bastion Host is installment-free and maintenance-free. It is the first cloud Bastion Host in the industry to support Windows2012/2016 operating system command audit and can be used without downloading and registering. In addition, 4 or less host servers of Xingyun Butler Cloud Bastion Host can use all functions free of charge. It is the cloud bastion host with the highest cost performance in the industry.
