Most all involved in software development today know that open source is a critical part of the modern software supply chain. However, there are still significant portions of the ecosystem that don’t fully appreciate the security issues associated with many popular open source projects. It was just over a year ago that the log4shell critical vulnerability in the widely used logging tool log4j disrupted software supply chains and many a developer’s holiday plans. Since then open source security is increasingly in the news and in policy conversations. What will policymakers likely do in the coming year, and how can we as leaders in the open source ecosystem help them make better decisions? This panel of OSPO and OSS ecosystem leaders will discuss how they are getting involved in educating, collaborating and driving OSS security work at their organizations.
