Stepping in 2024, the dynamics of open source vulnerability management are shifting. Rapid changes to software development demand a more nuanced approach to open source security from practitioners. From redefining risk to the cautious integration of auto-remediation, here are the pivotal recommendations for successful open source vulnerability management in 2024 and beyond.

We began working on Teleport with a vision to make trusted computing a reality for everyone, even for people without large budgets. That’s why we open sourced Teleport in 2015. Achieving this lofty goal takes a lot of work, which in turn requires capital. That is why we founded Teleport as a company and started to offer premium features required by enterprises. Thus, we must strike a delicate balance between benefiting the community and succeeding as a business.

Discover the inner workings of the recently implemented Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in the EU and explore why this framework has raised concerns about jeopardizing the open-source ecosystem. Join us in our latest blog post to delve into this important topic.

An open source license is a binding legal contract between author and user that declares the certain conditions in which a piece of software can be used, which is especially relevant in commercial applications. This license is what turns software components into open source components, allowing developers to use that software so long as they keep the specific terms and conditions laid out in the license. There are a lot of open source licenses, over 200 in fact.

Lurking in the open source software (OSS) that pervades applications around the world are open source security risks technology leaders must be aware of. Software is one of technology’s most vulnerable subsets with over 70% of applications containing security flaws. Here are the open source security risks IT leaders must be aware of to protect technology and help it scale safely.

Black Duck® introduced the concept of managing open source, and the licensing and security risks that come with it, back in 2002. The process and the products have matured over the last two decades. Open source management has now become nearly as commonplace as source code control, whether development shops are using tools such as Black Duck or simply maintaining a spreadsheet of what is in their code.

Software development at the speed of business is a constant balance of tradeoffs, and managing the risk of open-source software is one of the most emerging prominent examples. This is driven home by high-profile supply chain attacks such as the ones on SolarWinds, Log4J, and MoveIt. Each of these examples represents a different type of abuse, including.

In an age where cybersecurity is paramount, organizations must be vigilant in protecting their digital assets and sensitive information. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions are crucial in this endeavor, as they provide comprehensive visibility into an organization’s cybersecurity posture. While there are many commercial SIEM tools on the market, the pursuit of truly free and open-source SIEM solutions is gaining traction.

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on building a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) using free and open-source technologies. In the digital age, protecting your organization’s information assets has never been more important. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and organizations of all sizes and industries are vulnerable to attacks.

Snyk has been a long-time active participant in and sponsor of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF). We’re there because we believe in supporting its mission of securing the open source ecosystem. A recent summit meeting convened by the OpenSSF with the White House brought together various US Government departments for a chat about open source security.
