7 Things You Need to Know About Github's Sponsors-Only Repositories

Open-source software is driving some of the most exciting innovations today. According to The Linux Foundation, open-source constitutes about 70 to 90% of all modern software solutions. But it isn’t all fun and games: open-source software is free, which brings about operational inefficiencies due to a lack of financial support for their developers. Platforms like Switch and SubStack started incentivizing paid subscription models to solve this problem.

Adopt open source securely from bare metal to cloud

It’s no secret that developers prefer to use open-source software in their projects. However, the Log4Shell attack or the more recent PyPl crypto miner packages have taught us that there are questions around how it should be managed. At Canonical we have been dealing with open-source security issues since the very first release of Ubuntu and way before the topic became number 1 on every CISO priority list. In this video, our team discusses how your company can manage these challenges and lay the software foundation of a successful cybersecurity program.

Open source security: best practices for early detection & risk mitigation

What knowledge, tools, and processes do you need to keep your open-source software free from vulnerabilities and threats? Many open-source projects are well-maintained by software vendors or individuals. Yet, studies show that 80% of codebases used by enterprises contain vulnerabilities (half of which are high-risk vulnerabilities that can be exploited). Hackers scan for outdated systems that contain vulnerabilities, which they then exploit by deploying targeted malware. In this webinar, we will discuss best practices for keeping your systems up to date.

Is open-source as secure as proprietary software?

We’re surrounded by news of data breaches and companies being compromised, and the existential threat of ransomware hangs over just about every organisation that uses computers. One of the consequences is that we are hassled by an ever-increasing number of software updates, from phones and computers to vacuum cleaners and cars; download this, restart that, install the updates.
