Open source software is the foundation for application development worldwide, comprising 80 to 90 percent of the code in today’s applications. However, the explosion in open source use has not been accompanied by effective security and management practices.

A 2017 Black Duck analysis of code audits conducted on 1,071 applications found that 67 percent of the applications had open source vulnerabilities, half of which were categorized as “severe.”

Join IT industry veteran Lenny Liebmann and Black Duck VP of Security Strategy Mike Pittenger for a discussion of best practices in open source security and management to reduce application security risk.
