When we talk about security related to the software supply chain and third-party software management, it’s key that the tools you use provide detailed reports on the known and unknown vulnerabilities inside applications along with the level of exploitability of those vulnerable components. Absent that, all you have is a listing of SBOM parts without much to act on. Typically, you don’t want to co-mingle security information with an SBOM because it’s too dynamic—it’s always changing.

Join Dr. Chris Wood CISSP with Lockheed Martin and Alex Rybak, Senior Director of Product Management at Revenera as they cut through the SBOM noise and provide a no-nonsense guide to SBOMs

What is GPL? The GNU General Public License, often known as copyleft or viral, grants permission to use or reuse or modify source code to make derivative works with a condition that if you distribute your program to others, it requires you to license the derivative work under the same license. There is a catch to this, i.e., by agreeing to the GPL license, (if you plan to redistribute) you must make the source code wholly available to users and allow further modifications and retribution of your product.  This makes it unpopular to authors who make money using proprietary software.…

The past decade has been a whirlwind for the software supply chain. As the use of open source software (OSS) has become more pronounced, more businesses than ever before are using SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) solutions in order to better manage OSS and third-party components. An SBOM is a formal, queryable record containing the details and relationships of various components using in building software.

In a continuing effort to bolster and secure the nation’s software supply chain, the Biden administration issued the 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy. This plan focus’ on enhancing the country’s defenses against emerging threats, such as ransomware and supply chain attacks. Listen to this podcast to better understand what's outlined in the report and what it may mean to you as a software provider. 

In a continuing effort to bolster and secure the nation’s software supply chain, yesterday the Biden administration issued the 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy. This plan focus’ on enhancing the country’s defenses against emerging threats, such as ransomware and supply chain attacks. Background We highlighted the federal government’s focus on improving the U.S.’ digital defenses back in 2021 after high-profile cybersecurity events like the SolarWinds breach and the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline.

Read this whitepaper to understand the motivations, strategies and best practices for success with an OSPO.

We talk a lot about SBOMs these days. The U.S. government’s Cybersecurity Executive Order along with other industry and U.K. mandates launched the discussion to the front of the line. And, while SBOMs do provide a consistent and clear insight into the software that you’re using, they’re far from the ultimate fix when managing software security. Once you’ve compiled a comprehensive SBOM, you need to then put that data to use by coupling it with other tools.

Open source software (OSS) is a wonderful resource that streamlines development and increases the reliability of your project. However, the price of using OSS is being able to manage it effectively. As your business is delivering software applications to market, it is your responsibility to ensure what you deliver does not come with security risks. Luckily, it’s never too late to prepare for better open source and third-party component management. Compliance is never perfect; there will always be more to do.

Watch the webinar to hear experts from OSS Consultants and Revenera, as they look back on predictions from 2022 and summarize what did or didn’t happen and run down a list of our top trends going into the new year.

Over the last few years, containers have become popular for software distribution and deployment, representing the innovation that software deployment desperately needed in a space where runtime environments are so fragmented. However, like any other disruption, this comes with its own challenges regarding software provenance – who added what to a container at what stage.

In this podcast Revenera experts break down the details of the two high severity OpenSSL vulnerabilities. Understand your next steps and what you should be doing to identify and remediate these issues.

The OpenSSL project announced on October 25, 2022 that it was releasing OpenSSL version 3.0.7 which will patch newly discovered vulnerabilities in current versions of OpenSSL. Patches were released today.   OpenSSL is the core open source library that implements SSL and TLS protocols which makes it possible to securely communicate over the internet. Does all of this sound familiar? Remember “Heartbleed (CVE-2014-0160)?” Multiple attacks in 2014 exploited the ”Heartbleed” software flaw in OpenSSL, allowing attackers to spy on Internet communications, steal data, and impersonate services.

Adoption of Software Bills of Material (SBoMs) is critical to securing the software supply chain and improving cybersecurity throughout the open source ecosystem. Watch this webinar to learn how to use SBoMs to effectively manage all your open source, third-party and commercial software, regardless of its origin in all software deployment models including on-prem and SaaS

While there are currently thousands of institutions around the globe that train people in software development, only a fraction of those focus directly on code security. Surprisingly, even though there is an 80:1 ratio between software developers and security specialists, many still believe that the responsibility to find and eradicate vulnerabilities is only on security experts.

Watch Revenera and a panel of experts to discuss trends in open source, regulatory changes, the criticality of implementing a Software Bill of Materials and what organizations should be doing, along with what’s happening in the software supply chain.

Better manage your software supply chain with SBOM Insights from Revenera. SBOM Insights ingests data from a wide range of sources—both inside and outside your organization—and then unifies all SBOMs into a single actionable view.

Over the past few years, the software industry has increasingly relied on open-source software. It’s rare to find an application that solely uses proprietary components, with most enlisting a mix of third-party and open-source components. While this has led to a greater scope of what applications can do, as well…

The Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) enables software-producing organizations to provide transparency to customers and downstream supply chain partners by disclosing the composition of their applications. Producing complete, accurate SBOMs supports better management of licensing and security risk within applications.
