CISA Publishes Plan to Enhance Open Source Security

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published an Open Source Software Security Roadmap, outlining strategies to enhance security in open-source software systems. The plan identifies vulnerabilities and supply chain attacks as key risks, and sets four goals to mitigate them, including enhancing security visibility, reducing federal risks, and strengthening the open-source ecosystem. Strategies include developer education, better practice security guidance, and promoting standardized software bill of materials in supply chains.
