Open source security: best practices for early detection & risk mitigation

Open source security: best practices for early detection & risk mitigation

Feb 10, 2023

What knowledge, tools, and processes do you need to keep your open-source software free from vulnerabilities and threats? Many open-source projects are well-maintained by software vendors or individuals.

Yet, studies show that 80% of codebases used by enterprises contain vulnerabilities (half of which are high-risk vulnerabilities that can be exploited).

Hackers scan for outdated systems that contain vulnerabilities, which they then exploit by deploying targeted malware. In this webinar, we will discuss best practices for keeping your systems up to date.

The webinar will cover:

  • An introduction to open source security considerations
  • Best practices for early detection, monitoring and vulnerability patching
  • Getting value from automation
  • Hands-on example of how vulnerability detection and patching works in practice

Speakers:

Leck Sandecki, Senior Product Manager for Ubuntu Pro

Alex Burrage, Engineering Director
