- Offering a comprehensive TTX template/formula for maintainers, contributors, and open source consumers to enhance incident response capabilities and overall security posture.
- Providing educational content for developers who are in the process of learning about security practices.
- Showcasing the practical applications of current OpenSSF technologies in the context of a security incident.
- Identifying opportunities for refining existing processes and technologies, as well as exploring the development of new ones that can bolster incident response efforts.
