Securing the Development & Supply Chain of Open Source Software (OSS)
Open Source Software (OSS) is everywhere today. Unfortunately, all software (OSS and not) is under attack. This talk will briefly discuss how OSS is developed & distributed as a supply chain (SC) model, which then gives insights into how OSS is attacked and some countermeasures. We then discuss how OSS developers can develop & distribute secure OSS today, discuss how potential users can select secure OSS (including by looking for those developer practices), and obtain a glimpse at what’s coming in the future.
