Listen "Villainy, Open Source, and the Software Supply Chain"
Episode Synopsis
Matt, Izar, and Chris have a lively discussion about how security experts perceive open-source software. Referencing a post that described open source as a 'hive of scum and villainy,' the team dissects the misconceptions about open source software and challenges the narrative around its security. They explore the complexities of the software supply chain, the notion of 'inheritance' when it comes to security vulnerabilities, and the impact of transitive dependencies. They also discuss reputation systems, dependency injection, and the reality of accepting responsibility for incorporated software packages and their security issues. Tune in for these and other thoughtful insights about the interplay between open source solutions and security aspects in software development.FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA: ➜Twitter: @SecTablePodcast➜LinkedIn: The Security Table Podcast➜YouTube: The Security Table YouTube Channel Thanks for Listening!
