Throughout history governments have often played an enabling role in technology innovation. And the innovation value brought by open source software (OSS) is well known. And too the friction caused to innovation by cyber-insecurity is well known. But the intersection of these three topics has been less clear, until recently.
This talk will explore the emerging intersection of open source software, cybersecurity, and government by sharing: the four goals in the Open-Source Software Security Roadmap published in 2023 by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA),
1) establishing CISA’s role in supporting the security of OSS,
2) understanding the prevalence of key open source dependencies
3) reducing risks to the federal government
4) hardening the broader OSS ecosystem
their alignment with the National Cybersecurity Strategy’s goal of a more resilient, equitable, and defensible cyberspace, ongoing progress across 2024 toward the four goals, and potential next opportunities for alignment and collaboration across industry, academia, open source, and government looking forward into 2025 and beyond.
