Open Source Software Supply Chain Security - Understanding Threats and Best Practices

Watch a 39-minute conference talk from EclipseCon 2022 exploring the critical importance of open source software supply chain security. Dive into the industry's growing awareness of open source vulnerabilities and their potential for costly cyberattacks, exemplified by incidents like SolarWinds and Log4j. Learn about various threats targeting the open source supply chain, including unpatched vulnerabilities, typo-squatting, dependency confusion, and compromised code repositories. Discover current industry best practices, risk mitigation frameworks, and practical tips for securing open source software supply chains. Gain insights into the Eclipse Foundation's upcoming initiatives to support Eclipse Projects with security measures, covering key concepts like SLSA, NIST SSDF, SBOM (CycloneDX, SPDX), digital signatures, sigstore, zero trust, reproducible builds, provenance attestation, and workload identities.
