Rallying for Resillience: Open Source Security Strategies for Today’s Global Landscape
2025-09-18 14:00 - 17:00 UTC
What’s Open Source Security Got to Do with Resilience of the Supply Chain?
Webinar Event – September 18, 2025 – 1400 BST
The Stakes Are High—Is Your Supply Chain Ready?
There’s a silent vulnerability lurking in your digital infrastructure: open source software. Open source software makes up 80-90% of software application code and is innovation on tap for software creators. The growing risk of vulnerabilities, endemic in open source software, grows at a far greater rate than the industry’s ability to secure it. Consequently, quality of applications and end-consumer services, even livelihood, have started to suffer.
In today’s world, the strength of your supply chain is the backbone of your business—and, by extension, the economy. The risks are immediate and the consequences of a breach can be severe: operational disruption, reputational damage, and financial loss. The digital supply chain is now as critical as the physical one. Grave impact to the supply chain requires a hard look at what we can do to protect it.
Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion where industry leaders will tackle the pressing issues surrounding open-source security in today’s changing global context.
What You’ll Gain
Actionable Insights: Learn what you can do today to protect your business and prepare for tomorrow’s threats.
Global Perspective: Hear from industry leaders and security experts who understand the unique challenges facing organisations with critical supply chains.
Join the Conversation
This isn’t just another webinar. It’s a critical dialogue about the future of your business and the digital infrastructure it relies on. Bring your questions, your challenges, and your vision for a more resilient, secure, and sustainable supply chain.
Secure your spot today to be part of a critical dialogue that could shape the future of your organisation’s security and strategy.
