Open-Source Software Security: Areas of Long-Term Focus and Prioritization

Open-source software (OSS) is a key enabler of software, products, and service development, and a driver of innovation across industries, and it is more important than ever that those practicing across key industries stay abreast of the legal issues raised by OSS.

Recognizing that the security and resiliency of OSS is a national security, economic, and a technology innovation imperative, the White House's Office of National Cyber Director (ONCD) and the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have recently issued a new request for information (RFI) raising numerous questions themed in ensuring the security, sustainability, and health of the OSS ecosystem.

Join this webinar to hear from CISA on its views and next steps for OSS, and how the SciTech community can get involved in its efforts to support and strengthen OSS, followed by an expert panel discussion on OSS security (and other) issues raised in the RFI and how they impact OSS licensing.
