The first ever OpenSSF Day at the Open Source Summit North America (OSS NA) was a big success. On June 20th, we gathered in Austin, Texas and online to understand how to solve some of the biggest security challenges in the open source industry, steps being taken, and what’s next.Â
We’re excited to report the results of two security audits, one for Sigstore and one for slf4j. The goal of security audits is to find vulnerabilities so they can be fixed before attackers exploit them, as well as to identify opportunities to harden a project’s implementation and processes to counter vulnerabilities in the future. The…
To make it easier to use Sigstore’s toolkit to its full potential, OpenSSF and Linux Foundation Training & Certification released a free online training course, Securing Your Software Supply Chain with Sigstore (LFS182x), designed with end users of Sigstore tooling in mind: software developers, DevOps engineers, security engineers, software maintainers, etc.
Snyk has teamed up with the Linux Foundation to research and report on security concerns in the open source ecosystem. The 2022 State of Open Source Security report shows that many organizations still don’t have good policies and governance around open source security in spite of the popularity of open source packages.
The Linux Foundation released a new podcast series, “The Untold Stories of Open Source.” Join us each week as we meet the people behind the code, discover their often unconventional journey to the world of open source, and learn the challenges they faced along the way.
The free "Developing Secure Software" (LFD121) online training course is now available through SCORM Connect, so that organizations with their own SCORM-compliant Learning Management Systems (LMSs) can integrate the course into their own LMSs. Making this training that is available for free through Linux Foundation Training & Certification also accessible through LMS’ where students and…
As part of the OpenSSF’s continued investment in critical open-source projects, we are pleased to announce that the OpenSSF’s Alpha-Omega Project has committed to $800,000 in funding split equally among the Python Software Foundation (PSF) and the Eclipse Foundation to fund critical security roles. We are also happy to announce that the Secure Open Source…
We are excited to announce an initial release of Fuzz Introspector, a collaborative effort from OpenSSF members, that provides actionable insights for developers to identify fuzzing coverage blockers by analyzing functions, static call graphs, and runtime coverage information. Resolving these blockers will help unlock improved fuzzing coverage, resulting in more vulnerability discoveries and greater confidence…
We’re pleased to share that Brian Behlendorf, OpenSSF General Manager, testified to the United States House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology today. Brian’s testimony shares the work...
By Caleb Brown and David A. Wheeler, on behalf of Securing Critical Projects Working Group Today we’re pleased to announce the initial prototype version of the Package Analysis project, an...
