Ensuring Open Source Remains Secure Is A Shared Responsibility | Omkhar Arasaratnam – OpenSSF

While keeping open source secure remains a key priority for many, this is only made possible with the cooperation between the public sector, private sector, and the community. Yet while the US Government has been engaging more actively with the security community, the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is still sparking concerns as to the potential implications it could have on the future of open source.

In this episode, Omkhar Arasaratnam, General Manager of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), while at Open Source Summit in Bilbao, Spain, talks about the need for cohesion between the public sector, private sector, and community in ensuring open source remains secure. He also discusses some of the key trends in security and what the current focuses for OpenSSF are.
