Personally I feel like open source solutions are generally more secure, because a security issue can be found by a wider community and so fixed earlier. Whereas with closed source, such as ASP.NET you're mostly reliant on the manufacturers to find them.
That's probably going to upset some people who love ASP.NET, but that's just my opinion.

But then you could argue that if a bug is found in an open source base, then it would be pretty easy for a hacker to exploit it; with closed source bases, it would be harder for the bug to be found and for a hacker to then exploit it.
