99% of the world’s software has at least some open source code dependencies. Open source code is at the heart of almost all of the industry’s most innovative new software. As a result, vulnerabilities in open source code can have a global ripple effect across the billions of developers and services that rely on it. Of course, open source code often means bugs are found quicker and patched faster than in proprietary closed systems. It is nonetheless essential that all organizations understand what the latest best security practices are how they can minimize their organization’s risk when dealing with open source software.

In this session, we have gathered a number of speakers from a wide range of backgrounds to discuss best practices and approaches to effectively manage security and risk with today’s software supply chains.
