ISMG’s Executive Roundtables focus on specific challenges being faced by information security executives in today’s cybersecurity landscape. Moderated by one of ISMG’s Executive Editors and a guest industry expert, Roundtables give cybersecurity professionals the opportunity to discuss threats and controls with a handful of market leaders in an informal setting, from which you will emerge with new ideas and solutions you can immediately put to work to improve your own organization’s defensive posture.
Topic
Open Source Components: How to Increase Speed and Reduce the Risk
Open source and third-party components help developers build and deploy applications faster. But with increased speed comes greater risk that could lead to fraud. To reduce these risks, development and security teams need strategies to tackle the challenge of securing their applications from vulnerabilities in third-party and open source components. Do you know which open source components your developers have used? Does your organization have a formal approach to component inventory and developer education?
If you’re looking for answers to these questions, then join Tom Field for an exclusive roundtable discussion where attendees will tackle such topics as:
- How do open source and third-party components create greater fraud risk?
- How can organizations reduce risk through strategies including component inventories and developer education?
- How can software composition analysis technologies help you keep track of component use and be ready when the next vulnerability hits the news?
Joining Tom to provide expert insight and case studies is Maria Loughlin, VP of Engineering for Veracode.
