The Risky Business of Open Source (Part 1)

We live in a software-driven world where the market demands feature-rich applications delivered at breakneck speeds. Adoption of third-party open-source software (OSS) is a key enabler. More and more open-source frameworks and libraries are being tapped in applications. Use of open-source code by developers grew 40% this past year alone. But as often happens with digital innovation, open source increases security and licensing risks for teams that do not have the right controls in place. In this Inside AppSec podcast interview, the first podcast in a two-part series, Contrast Security’s Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Contrast OSS Joe Coletta speaks about the trends around open source and delineates the types of risks that exist when open source is used in development.
