In this session you are going to hear about application security and open source software. A review of how open source software grows and how vulnerabilities are created. Vulnerabilities in open source software increase the risks of exploitation, it is critical then to understand the dynamics of how open source software is built and to have a plan in place to reduce risk. A security plan around visibility, early stage in the development lifecycle and policy governance.
Open source sparks innovation, it provides bug fixes and security fixes, the solution is not to stop using open source software. All new technologies from AI and Machine Learning to Virtual Reality, self-driving cars and robotics are built in the open, so there’s no turn back. The best approach is to keep up with the progress in open source, to shift-left and automate application security.
This session will provide:
-Insight into how open source software works and grows
-How to address security for open source components
-How to keep up with constant changes and new vulnerabilities
