When we talk about security related to the software supply chain and third-party software management, it’s key that the tools you use provide detailed reports on the known and unknown vulnerabilities inside applications along with the level of exploitability of those vulnerable components. Absent that, all you have is a listing of SBOM parts without much to act on. Typically, you don’t want to co-mingle security information with an SBOM because it’s too dynamic—it’s always changing.

What is GPL? The GNU General Public License, often known as copyleft or viral, grants permission to use or reuse or modify source code to make derivative works with a condition that if you distribute your program to others, it requires you to license the derivative work under the same license. There is a catch to this, i.e., by agreeing to the GPL license, (if you plan to redistribute) you must make the source code wholly available to users and allow further modifications and retribution of your product.  This makes it unpopular to authors who make money using proprietary software.…

The past decade has been a whirlwind for the software supply chain. As the use of open source software (OSS) has become more pronounced, more businesses than ever before are using SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) solutions in order to better manage OSS and third-party components. An SBOM is a formal, queryable record containing the details and relationships of various components using in building software.

The eternal issue of how to price software licensing weighs heavy on product teams around the world. In fact, the 2022 Monetization Monitor revealed only 32% of software suppliers believe their pricing is “totally aligned” to value, highlighting the extent of this pivotal challenge. The risk is obvious: If your customers and prospects don’t see value for money, the success of your business hangs in the balance, so it’s crucial to constantly review feedback, analyze data, monitor the market, and make every attempt to ensure the price is right. Fortunately, you can remove the guesswork from prod

When thinking about SaaS use rights, a good analogy is to consider how membership programs work at your local fitness center. You scan your card at the front desk and, depending on the package you’ve paid for, you’re granted access to the facilities and classes your membership allows. At the silver level, you’ll get unlimited use of certain machines, but restrictions will be imposed on pool access, for example – incurring additional fees each time you swim. However, those on the platinum package can access all areas at no extra cost. This is akin to how SaaS products generally work,…

We talk a lot about SBOMs these days. The U.S. government’s Cybersecurity Executive Order along with other industry and U.K. mandates launched the discussion to the front of the line. And, while SBOMs do provide a consistent and clear insight into the software that you’re using, they’re far from the ultimate fix when managing software security. Once you’ve compiled a comprehensive SBOM, you need to then put that data to use by coupling it with other tools.

Open source software (OSS) is a wonderful resource that streamlines development and increases the reliability of your project. However, the price of using OSS is being able to manage it effectively. As your business is delivering software applications to market, it is your responsibility to ensure what you deliver does not come with security risks. Luckily, it’s never too late to prepare for better open source and third-party component management. Compliance is never perfect; there will always be more to do.

At the time of writing, the economic outlook is challenging and layoffs across the tech sector are alarmingly frequent.

IDC has published a new report on the issues surrounding software entitlement management and how suppliers can improve processes with a centralized solution. As product lines grow and licensing models evolve, suppliers frequently struggle to maintain multiple, complex, and often manual approaches to customer entitlements – causing delays in delivery and revenue recognition, resulting in unhappy users and flawed finances. When evaluating your approach to software entitlement management, ask yourself: Does your current system enable standardized automation for all products? Do you have insights

In an increasingly challenging economy, software companies need clear visibility over license compliance, unlicensed usage, and where revenue leakage occurs. Software usage data and compliance intelligence can provide essential insights that identify losses and help businesses convert piracy into profit. The final report in the Revenera Monetization Monitor 2022 series examines software piracy, misuse, and overuse.

How much attention do you pay to product usage data? The benefits and best practices are common knowledge by now – we all likely know the potential wealth of information contained within software usage analytics – but how much time do you commit to reviewing and learning from the insights at your fingertips? When hit with never-ending questions about feature development, roadmaps, and bug fixes, it’s easy to skip the routine of stepping back and studying customer behavior data.
