Strengthening Software Governance Through OSS Compliance
Join us for a comprehensive workshop on Strengthening Software Governance Through OSS Compliance, designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to manage open source software effectively.
Starting with the essential best practices for Open Source Software (OSS) compliance, we’ll delve into the critical role of the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), understanding its definition, the challenges in its extraction, and how automation for SBOM creation and OSS inventory within CI/CD pipelines can streamline your processes. The session will then cover the practicalities of the product clearing process, including license obligation fulfilment and handling “Do Not Use” files, alongside effective strategies for handling blacklisted components. We’ll also emphasize the importance of code audits in OSS Compliance for maintaining security and integrity, provide a brief introduction to the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to highlight evolving regulatory demands, and finally, explore the dynamic intersection of AI and open source compliance.
