Navigating And Securing Open Source In The Cloud-Native Era
theCUBEresearch, Monday, October 7th, 2024
The rapid adoption of open-source software (OSS) in enterprise and cloud-native applications has revolutionized the technology landscape, offering unprecedented innovation and agility.
However, this proliferation comes with significant security challenges, particularly in managing vulnerabilities within OSS components, including outdated or abandoned ones. We explore the current state of OSS usage in enterprises, the associated security risks, and strategies to address these challenges and why 'shift-let' alone is not enough. We also examine how companies like Kosai are innovating solutions to help organizations secure their software supply chains effectively.
