Software Engineering Institute

The adoption of open-source software continues to grow and creates significant security concerns for everything from software supply chain attacks in language ecosystem registries to cloud-native application security concerns. In this session, we will explore how developers are targeted as a vehicle for malware distribution, how immensely we depend on open-source maintainers to release timely security fixes, and how the race to the cloud creates new security concerns for developers to cope with, as computing resources turn into infrastructure as code.

Steve Kinman is a dedicated technology leader, with 20+ years of innovative compliance-driven security strategy knowledge and the ability to deliver scalable, principle-based security and privacy programs focused on business requirements.
