Best Practices for Managing Open Source in an Organization and Throughout an M&A - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The use of open source has surpassed the occasional and solidified itself as the standard. In fact, the Black Duck by Synopsys 2018 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis found that 96% of the applications we scanned last year contained open source components. It’s increasingly difficult to properly manage open source in an organization to ensure compliance with the over 2,000 different licenses in use today and defend against new vulnerabilities, which surface frequently. Join this webinar with top open source legal experts Mark Radcliffe (partner at DLA Piper and general counsel for the Open Source Initiative) and Tony Decicco (shareholder, GTC Law) as they discuss best practices for managing open source in an organization and throughout an M&A transaction: - How do you conduct an open source / third-party software audit? - How do you get the most out of your Black Duck code scan? i.e. Handling license compliance issues and managing security vulnerabilities - What are key aspects of an effective open source / third-party software policy for both inbound use and outbound contributions? - What are key success factors for effectively releasing code as open source?
