Abstract
With increasing frequency, Coast Guard Program Managers are acquiring systems based on both commercial products and open systems. This brings both benefits and risks. Although the benefits of using commercial products and open systems are widely publicized, the risks are often overlooked. This document discusses various risks and provides guidance that may be used to mitigate those risks.
