Managing OSS Security Blind Spots - A collaborative approach
Summary:
Open-Source Software is no longer a term which needs
explanation. It is ubiquitous in most of the code bases and rightfully
so with its low cost, free to use, modify and distribution features.
With these features also comes inherent Security, Operational and
License risks. One of the biggest security blind spots in OSS is the
lack of centralized control over the development and distribution of
code. Recent attacks on popular OSS libraries such as Apache Struts,
Open SSL, log4j have highlighted the need for increased security
measures in OSS. To address these security concerns, organizations need
to take a proactive approach to OSS security. This involves establishing
security policies and procedures for selecting, evaluating, and
integrating OSS into their systems. It is equally important to monitor
and track OSS usage to ensure that any vulnerabilities are quickly
identified and addressed. The talk will take us through a real-world
example of an organization's OSS transformation journey, the real-world
challenges, and the path to success.
