"Here Is a Clean Section of the Beach" - Proactively Auditing Open Source Dependencies and Letting End Users Know - Munawar Hafiz, OpenRefactory & Michael Winser, Alpha-Omega
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Open source dependencies pose the most serious threat for all software. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools can help understand the risk profile using data collected about known vulnerabilities. But what about the unknown ones? The Alpha-Omega project, sponsored by Amazon, Google and Microsoft, has been challenged with the tasks of scouring the most popular Open Source libraries in order to “clean the beach” to make it safe for everyone. But the beach is huge and how can this project be performed at scale? In this talk, Michael Winser, Alpha-Omega co-founder, and Dr. Munawar Hafiz, CEO of OpenRefactory, will discuss the progress that Alpha-Omega has made in scanning and repairing thousands of Open Source libraries. They will describe the scaling challenges, the data handling and storage challenges and how the information is made available to the end users.
