Understand the Challenge

Open source maintainers and contributors face a tough balancing act: shipping innovation while ensuring their projects meet evolving security standards and international regulatory requirements. From vulnerability management to compliance with new global policies, the security stakes have never been higher.

Learn the OpenSSF Community’s Approach

That’s where the Open Source Project Security Baseline (OSPS Baseline) comes in. Developed by the OpenSSF community, this initiative provides a clear, actionable framework that helps projects align with key security expectations. Whether you’re a maintainer, contributor, or policymaker, this talk will show you how the OSPS Baseline can be a valuable tool to guide your efforts.

Apply the Solution

We’ll explore how to implement the OSPS Baseline to strengthen your project’s security posture, improve compliance readiness, and bolster the overall resilience of the open source ecosystem. You’ll walk away with practical insights that you can start using right away—no matter the size or scope of your project.
