SCA-Webinar-State-of-Open-Source

With the widespread use and adoption of open source software across industries, the need to have visibility into what is in your code is more important than ever. Do you have an open source usage policy? Can you easily disclose all open source software (OSS) and third party content used in your software?

Third party content accounts for 50-90% of codebase, but most organizations only know about 10% of what is actually used. Although using multiple resources for code can speed development and time to market, it makes identification of unknown software components difficult and increases security vulnerability risks and potential IP violations. You need to be able to reduce the risk associated with the widespread use of unknown and undocumented open source software and other third-party content within your software applications.

Join Jeff Luszcz, VP of Product Management for Flexera, for a state of open source review for 2016. Jeff will discuss the compliance and vulnerability events and trends impacting software producers and enterprises using open source software, and share insights from Flexera’s Professional Services auditing team for the past year.
