After five years as open source champions, Cal.com is going closed source. This wasn’t an easy decision, but in the age of AI-driven security threats, protecting customer data has to come first. Cal.diy will continue as an open option for hobbyists.

I asked this at my company wide security training session. The answer I received was that 0 days are hard to detect which is what makes them dangerous. Well duh, you just told me criminals were using currently available open source AI tools to find them. A total non answer was provided.

So I just used the company mandated AI to scan or source code for vulnerabilities and patched the 2 it found.
