Linux Growth Sparks Cyber Threat Targeting in Cloud Infrastructure

With the growth of Linux in cloud environments, critical infrastructure, and even mobile platforms, hackers are increasingly targeting the open source system for higher returns. . Growing at close to 20% year-over-year, the Linux operating system market is expected to touch $22.15 billion in 2029 from a mere $6.27 billion in 2022, according to Fortune Business Insights. However, with growth, comes opportunities, and sometimes these are opportunities for threat actors. Linux has gained significant popularity and broader adoption in various domains, including servers, cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and mobile platforms. The increased adoption of DevOps and modern applications is making Linux the platform of choice for servers and hence developers are increasingly developing it. . Expanding at nearly 18% annually, the Android platform segment is projected to reach $30.5 billion by 2028.. Linux Adoption, Open Source Risks, Cyber Threats. . Brittany Day

Assessing Open-Source Software Risks With OpenSSF Scorecards

Everyone knows the phrase “software is eating the world” by Marc Andreessen from over a decade ago. Software powers and touches nearly every aspect of modern society, both personally and professionally, and is critical to the modern economy and national security. . It can also be said that open-source software (OSS) has eaten the software industry. The Linux Foundation and other groups have estimated that free and open-source software (FOSS) constitutes 70% to 90% of any modern software product. Not only is modern software largely composed of OSS components, but IT leaders are more likely to work with vendors who also contribute to the OSS community. OSS use is rampant because of its flexibility, cost savings, innovation through community enabled projects, and arguably better security through more eyeballs on the code, especially for large OSS projects. That said, OSS comes with its own concerns, including Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) for affected code. . OpenSSF Scorecards are essential for identifying risks in open-source projects. They provide an objective framework to assess security posture using various metrics.. OpenSSF Scorecards, Software Evaluation, Open-Source Risks, Security Assessment, OSS Components. .
