In this webinar, Canonical’s Ijlal Loutfi and Henry Coggill discuss the security of Linux and Ubuntu. We’ll start by giving some background about Ubuntu for those who might be unfamiliar, and discuss how open-source software gets developed and bundled into distributions.

We’ll discuss how the open-source ecosystem deals with security vulnerabilities, how they’re discovered and fixed, and how this perpetual dance impacts end users. Then we’ll go deeper into the range of security tech built into Ubuntu and how it protects systems from a range of threats. Finally, we’ll explore how Canonical’s enterprise-grade support delivers a comprehensive platform for secure open-source adoption.

We’re excited to see you there.
