Preserving Open Source Sustainability While Advancing Cybersecurity Compliance
The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) represents a significant evolution in the European Union’s approach to product cybersecurity and software supply chain risk. Article 25 explicitly recognizes the unique role of free and open source software (FOSS) and seeks to facilitate compliance for manufacturers by enabling voluntary security attestation programmes for FOSS.

AI, Software Development, Security, Tips, and the Future (Part 2)
This is part 2 of a 2-part article where I’ll briefly discuss the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on software development.
AI, Software Development, Security, Tips, and the Future (Part 1)
This is part 1 of a 2-part article discussing the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on software development. In this part, I’ll note that AI use during software development is now the norm, despite frequent errors in AI-generated results, because productivity is king. I’ll then discuss its potential security implications.
