If you’re in technology, business or public sector, join us to hear the latest on the challenges and leading initiatives in open source software (OSS) security - come and learn, join the conversation and take part in securing the OSS supply chain for the public good.
Agenda:
🛡Julian Gordon, VP Asia Pacific, OpenSSF will share the latest news on the foundation’s global initiatives to secure the software supply chain, including Alpha-Omega, SLSA, Sigstore, SBOMs and more. Discover cutting-edge automated tooling, best practices, training and education - and how you and your organisation can access these resources and get involved.
🔎 Vandana Verma, Snyk will present a SLSA (slsa.dev) deep dive – discover what all the buzz is about and how to implement this framework, organised into levels of increasing security rigor, to give confidence that software hasn’t been tampered with and can be securely traced back to its source.
✅ Followed by a panel discussion with software security experts on topics including:
- Assessing the threats, developments in mitigating risk, and enhancing open source software resilience – in India and globally
- Examining the solutions we have today: Where do you start - SLSA, SBOMs, scanning etc - and where are the gaps?
- How members of OpenSSF and the open source ecosystem are working to further cybersecurity research, training and analysis, and addressing defects found in critical open source software projects
