Five Elements Of Proactive Patching
SC Media, Friday, May 31st, 2024
Fun fact: 96% of all codebases incorporate open-source software in some form. And that dates back a long time. More recently, open source has made a massive contribution to AI, with a number of large language models entering the scene as viable options for building next-generation applications.
In short, open-source software has become integral to tech innovation.
But securing open-source software adequately remains a big a problem for the industry. Traditional security processes are unfit for open-source, as evidenced by a recent surge in vulnerabilities within widely used libraries.
Given the gap in security, the industry needs to reevaluate its dependency on community-driven solutions for patching vulnerabilities, highlighting the critical need for a more proactive and reliable approach to security.
