Managing the risk and growth of using Open Source Software
+
+
+
+
+ Today, every company is a software company. Even companies with a core business that is not about developing software products are building software to help run their businesses. More and more, development organizations are using open source software as part of their applications in order to support their agility and efficiency goals. While the benefits of using open source software are apparent, organizations need to manage the vulnerabilities and risks associated with that use. In this session you will learn about the business impact of security vulnerabilities and license compliance issues presented to organizations that use open source software. You will also learn how Software Composition Analysis tools, such as WhiteSource Software, can help to automate and simplify the process of managing vulnerability and compliance issues throughout the Software Delivery Lifecycle (SDLC). The session will include a hands-on workshop using WhiteSource Software to scan code for open source libraries, build an inventory of these libraries, and highlight identified security vulnerabilities, the licenses associated with these libraries, and the identified risk they present.
