​
All open-source platforms are just that, open. That means they are more accessible to hackers. RiptideOS is not an open-source platform but a dedicated solution that is secured for your business use only. It is not designed to be all things to all needs. It is purpose-built for your needs and built securely from the ground up. Of course, any open platform can be made secure if money or available technologies are not scarce. ROS is designed to be secure without that expense.
Naturally, that depends on each business's unique needs, but RiptideOS is purpose-built to have a lower total cost of ownership than AI solutions built on open platforms. ROS does not require perpetual service techs and data scientists. ROS does not have the same overhead as a solution built on an open platform. ROS not only typically costs less to deploy and maintain, but the Return On Investment is typically faster and higher than other solutions.
