There’s a lot of hype about the risks of using open source components. (http://techgenix.com/linux-security-concerns/) Whether it’s a highly publicized court case or a huge data breach. After 10 years as a developer and one year as the head of an R&D group in an open source security startup, I learned first hand that a lot of the risks are manageable. In this tech session, I will demo open source vulnerability, and assess how a vulnerability in one of the most popular open source libraries impacts your code (or not). This session will provide developers with a deeper understanding of how open source vulnerabilities affect their code, and the practical tools to manage and mitigate their open source risks.
