CodeProject | Offers - Open Source Software: Security Risks and Best Practices

	Open Source Software: Security Risks and Best Practices Up to 80% of the source code in many new commercial and enterprise applications is open source software (OSS). OSS allows developers to build apps faster but may also introduce risk to organizations through security vulnerabilities in the libraries. This paper examines steps you can take to mitigate these risks and will help engineering and security teams work together to build and enforce best practices in the selection, use, and monitoring of open source components. Reduce Your Open Source Security Risk: Strategies, Tactics, and Tools While there’s no doubt that open source software is here to stay, that doesn’t mean that developers can feel free to use all and any open source software components with no thought to the vulnerabilities and security issues they may introduce into their development projects. The fact is, there’s no such thing as bulletproof, bug-free, automatically license compliant, and easily auditable software. Not in the open source world and not in the commercial off the shelf world. Download this white paper to learn how to reduce your open source security risk. This week's edition brought to you by:
