## **451 Research: Securing Open Source**

In this report, we look at how the boom in OSS adoption has also led to an increase in awareness of open source risks, from licensing issues to security – and the measures required to protect organizations against those risks.

We examine two incidents in particular – the Heartbleed vulnerability and the 2017 Equifax data breach – and how those events have shone a glaring light on the gaps organizations face in protecting themselves.

Download the 451 Research report and learn more about:

- the risks of adopting open source components and how these affect application and software security; and
- technologies specifically intended to address open source risks, such as Software Composition Analysis.
