I recently learned that my company prefers closed-source tools for privacy and security.
I don’t know whether the person who said that was just confused, but I am trying to come up with reasons to opt to closed-source for privacy.

I don’t understand this mindset.
In open source, both malicious actors and contributors will try to find problems.
In closed source, the development team is paid by hour (and probably don’t care about the product quality) and the only motivated people to find real issues are malicious actors.
But people still consider closed source safer.
