Neglecting Open Source Developers Puts the Internet at Risk

Nearly 89% of businesses use open source software but few are aware of its details, according to OpenUK. Businesses are now demanding more information regarding their operation-critical software and creating a software bill of materials (SBOM) for each application. This can help businesses instantly identify security flaws and the systems they affect. The report also highlights the importance of businesses supporting the open source projects they depend on and knowing the details of their software supply chain and its dependencies.
