The 2023 Open Source Year in Review

Open source software continues to prove its staying power. It serves as the foundation for the modern applications that we depend on to run. 

Along with the significant scale of open source usage comes a decreased ability to effectively manage the associated risk. In fact, 96% of codebases we audited in 2022 contain open source, and 84% contain security vulnerabilities.  

So how can you adapt to the current scale of open source usage to mitigate software supply chain risk and secure your applications? 

Join our live webinar as we explore the findings of our 2023 “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” report, and see what they mean to teams like yours. We’ll cover

• How our research reflects the current application development landscape 
• Open source risk including security threats 
• What leads to the build-up of risky dependencies 
• Why you need an accurate inventory of open source components 
• The core tenets of open source risk management programs

The 2023 Guide to Open Source

If software is an important part of your business and you need to comply with license terms and protect against security vulnerabilities, you need to know and track what is inside your software. Lists of software components and dependencies are typically referred to as Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs).

Standardizing the format for SBOMs can improve the accuracy and efficiency for managing software license compliance and security vulnerabilities – especially if your software is the result of a long list of suppliers (e.g., a commercial product which depends on a commercial library which uses an open-source library which includes source from a different open-source project).

With the May 12, 2021 U.S. Presidential Executive Order on Improving the Nations Cyber Security, several software suppliers are being required to produce their SBOMs in a standard format.

SPDX is a standard format for SBOMs.  Although it has been around for more than 10 years, it has gone through some significant evolution such representing data on security vulnerabilities. There is a forthcoming major release which supports several new use cases such as tracking the build process and tracking data about artificial intelligence models.

In this talk, we will start with how you can use the widely adopted SPDX 2.3 spec to represent security vulnerability and license compliance data and then go into some of the new features of the SPDX 3.0 specification.  We will touch on what goes into making a quality SBOM.

At the conclusion of the talk, you will have a better understanding how you can make use of SPDX whether you are producing software or evaluating software you use (or plan to use).

SBOMs and SPDX: Now and in the Future

Most software due diligence playbooks involve peer-to-peer discussions about products, processes, and people. That’s all extremely important as investors often bet on future development. But mitigating software risk in M&A requires not only evaluating the state of the target’s processes and organization, but also understanding the dimensions of technical debt that may lurk in the code.
 
Join this Synopsys webinar to learn how your software due diligence process can uncover technical debt and reduce post-close headaches. We’ll cover best practices for evaluating: 
 
• The organization and processes 
• Quality of the architecture and code
• Application security risks
• Open source/third-party software

The Four Truths of Securing Your Software Supply Chain

The proliferation of software across every industry poses significant challenges for teams that must both keep up with the fast pace of innovation and ensure that the software they build is secure. This has led to security tool sprawl, unnecessary complexity, increased operational costs and in many cases, a decreased ability to quickly assess risk. As a result, many organizations are looking to consolidate the number of security tools and vendors they manage to improve resource efficiency and overall risk posture.
 
In this webinar, we will discuss the key things necessary to capitalize on consolidation initiatives beyond a simple reduction of tools, and provide a roadmap for how organizations can realize these benefits rapidly.

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) will fundamentally change the way that software is built. Whether they are developing or using AI tools, organizations must understand the opportunities and risks involved, and evolve governance, policies and processes to address those risks.

Join this live Synopsys webinar for a deep dive into the issues that arise when using GAI in software development. We’ll cover:

• Open source data and software licenses and risks with AI
• Licensing and clearance considerations for materials used to train AI models
• Licensing considerations in building, training, and using AI models
• A deep dive on GitHub Copilot, including implications of the class action suit

Generative AI, Training Data, Open Source, and GitHub Copilot, Oh My!

Understanding the risks associated with open source software has become the norm in tech due diligence, but not all approaches are created equal. Knowing what’s in the software you’re acquiring is the first step. Few targets are able to produce an SBOM and when they do, it tends to be about 50% accurate. Is “good enough” good enough for M&A?

Join this live Synopsys webinar to learn how a purpose-built M&A open source audit differs from open source management tools and why it matters in tech due diligence. We’ll cover:

• The risks associated with open source software 
•Why depth of analysis matters, and what it results in during M&A diligence
•Why accuracy, reporting and expert human analysis are keys to thorough diligence

This talk aims to clarify containerization and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) for beginners. We'll cover container technologies, key terms, their value, popularity, challenges, and security issues. We'll discuss common threats, vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and provide real-world attack examples. We'll reference standards and resources like OWASP Docker Top 10, Container Security Verification Standard, NIST Application Container Security guide, and CIS Benchmarks. Finally, we'll provide guidelines and best practices for securing containers.

Finding Your Way in Container Security

There is no shortage of buzz around generative artificial intelligence (GAI). GAI can be used in software development to generate and augment code which saves times and reduces development cycles. But using AI in software development comes with its own set of risks.

Join this live Synopsys webinar to get an introduction to GAI and how you can minimize risk when using it in your organization. We’ll cover:

• What GAI is and how machines learn
• Legal issues with AI including copyright, web scraping, and more
• Overview of current litigation
• Practical approaches to using GAI while minimizing risk

Best Practices for Using AI in Software Development

Although AI has been around for decades, recent advances, including the development of generative AI tools, mean that AI-related stories are hitting the headlines on an almost-daily basis. This includes the copyright infringement proceedings brought by a group of American novelists against OpenAI in relation to use of their novels as training data, the ban by Samsung on using generative AI tools on its internal networks and company-owned devices, and the Hollywood writers’ strike over the use of AI in the film industry. 

More than half of organisations (52%) recently polled by Gartner reported that risk factors are a critical consideration when evaluating new AI use cases. So before spending time and money on the development of software by using AI, it is important for a company to understand the potential risks of doing so and how to mitigate such risks. Companies will need to rethink how development gets done, with the focus needing to be on evolving operations and training people as much as on technology. In addition, if looking to be acquired later down the line, that company will need to be ready to answer questions from prospective buyers.

Join this live Synopsys webinar, in which a panel of legal experts from CMS UK  will focus on two hot topics in relation to AI: intellectual property and governance. They will cover:

•         IP issues relating to the use of third party content to train AI tools
•         questions around subsistence, authorship/inventorship and ownership of any IP
•         the risk of the output infringing third party IP rights
•         key IP considerations in the context of a potential acquisition
•         how to manage development of software with the help of AI through effective governance
•         how ISO Standards and standardisation can play a significant role in mitigating the risks associated with AI and establishing robust governance frameworks
