Don’t Gawk. Use GUAC Instead.
2026-03-05 14:00 - 15:00 (Asia/Kolkata)
The definition of “gawk” is “to stare stupidly, rudely, or with amazement, often with an open mouth”. This perfectly captures the reaction that software engineers have when they encounter supply chain security issues.
Lack of transparency is a huge blindside when working with open source tools. This blind spot could blow up into a project black hole — invisible, resource depleting, destructive — if not handled correctly. How do we build situational awareness from this position of incognizance?
Enter GUAC! A project built by the community and devised to solve the problem of not knowing your software composition.
Whether you’re an enterprise or just an enterprising indie dev, this session has something for you. Learn how to make use of GUAC for improving your supply chain security posture. Find out how teams are benefitting from better knowledge of the OSS components in their toolchain.
