That’s pretty fast movement for a technology that we haven’t yet succeeded in clearly defining!

Organizations are increasingly relying on open source software (OSS) to accelerate development and innovation. However, with great power comes great responsibility – and in this case, significant security risks. Enter the curated OSS catalog, a solution that ensures secure-by-default OSS usage. Let’s explore what a curated OSS catalog are and who stands to benefit from them.
