May 25th: ISSA Chapter Event - Managing OSS Security Blind Spots - A collaborative approach

On 9:36 AM 0 comments

 


ISSA-Kansas City May 25, 2023 Chapter Event
When
Thursday, May 25, 2023 from 11:35 AM to 1:00 PM CDT
Add to Calendar
 

Where
Lidia's Resturant
101 West 22nd Street
Kansas City, KS 64108
Driving Directions

Please join ISSA-KC Chapter members and other security professionals at Lidia's Resturant, Kansas City.

This Month's Topic:  
Managing OSS Security Blind Spots - A collaborative approach 
 
Summary:  
Open-Source Software is no longer a term which needs explanation. It is ubiquitous in most of the code bases and rightfully so with its low cost, free to use, modify and distribution features. With these features also comes inherent Security, Operational and License risks. One of the biggest security blind spots in OSS is the lack of centralized control over the development and distribution of code. Recent attacks on popular OSS libraries such as Apache Struts, Open SSL, log4j have highlighted the need for increased security measures in OSS. To address these security concerns, organizations need to take a proactive approach to OSS security. This involves establishing security policies and procedures for selecting, evaluating, and integrating OSS into their systems. It is equally important to monitor and track OSS usage to ensure that any vulnerabilities are quickly identified and addressed. The talk will take us through a real-world example of an organization's OSS transformation journey, the real-world challenges, and the path to success.

Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) allows a security organization to quantify cyber risk in monetary terms that resonates with business leaders, CFO, CEO and board members. Calculating cyber risk in monetary terms provides a common language that can be used to prioritize projects and spending, and track the overall effectiveness of a cybersecurity program.
