8 Key Initiatives Strengthening Open-Source Security in 2022

Open-source security has been high on the agenda this year, with a number of initiatives, projects, and guidance launched in 2022 to help improve the cyber resiliency of open-source code, software and development. . Vendors, tech firms, collectives and governments have contributed to helping raise the open-source security bar amid organizations’ increasing use of and reliance upon open-source resources, along with the complex security risks and challenges that come with it. “2022 has intensified the necessary focus on the important topics of open-source security, including supply chain security. It has also accelerated efforts to identify what was left to do, and then start doing it. In sum: things are just getting started, but progress has been made,” David A. Wheeler, director of open-source supply chain security at the Linux Foundation, tells CSO. . Suppliers, software companies, organizations, and authorities are collaborating to bolster community-driven safety in the face of intricate dangers..

Linux Foundation Introduces OpenSSF To Streamline Security Projects

The Linux Foundation recently announced that it has launched yet another consortium - this time with the aim of bringing some order to multiple previous efforts to address open source security. The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) will consolidate the efforts of the Core Infrastructure Initiative and the Open Source Security Coalition previously launched by GitHub. . In addition, various security projects launched by other founding governing board members including, Google, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, NCC Group, OWASP Foundation, Red Hat and others will be incorporated. Chris Aniszczyk, vice president of strategic and developer programs for The Linux Foundation, said the OpenSSF will reduce duplicated efforts across all these initiatives by first centralizing management and then bringing respective teams together to work on related projects. Additional founding OpenSSF members include ElevenPaths, GitLab, HackerOne, Intel, Okta, Purdue, SAFECode, StackHawk, Trail of Bits, Uber and VMware.
