About this talk

Our current environment requires unprecedented social-distancing measures, which introduce a new set of security challenges. Working from home can lead to many distractions, especially when it comes to writing code. A distraction may unknowingly cause mistakes, which can introduce vulnerabilities and slow down development cycles. In addition, a developer may not have the time available to adequately investigate security vulnerabilities in the open source libraries they use in their code. Teams are struggling to manage the demands of the business while effectively managing security issues throughout the development process due to these challenges. This is resulting in an increased demand for open source governance and security management solutions. Join Microsoft and WhiteSource to learn more about the challenges and risks of working remotely. We will introduce you to our leading Software Composition Analysis (SCA) technology that integrates into your SDLC and makes it easy to develop secure and compliant software without having to compromise on speed or agility. In this session we will cover: - The challenges and risks of coding securely while working remotely - Breaking down the essential capabilities that you will need in order to use open source technology effectively - A demonstration of open source security and management tools which find and fix open source vulnerabilities within Microsoft Azure DevOps and GitHub build pipelines
