OWASP Developer Day 2024

Managing the risk from thousands of open source dependencies is the most difficult challenge of our time. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools help understand the risk profile using data collected about "known" vulnerabilities. But what about the "unknown" bugs?


Imagine the scenario in which you know about bugs in your open source dependencies before they become vulnerabilities with a CVE. You can design and execute a remediation plan even before the information is public and threat becoming imminent. This will have a fundamental impact on the security posture. 

The Alpha-Omega project under the Linux Foundation has been challenged with the task of making the most popular Open Source libraries safe for everyone. We are enabling the proposed reality by proactively scanning and finding previously unknown bugs in open source projects. This will open up the opportunity for you to proactively respond in the time window before a CVE is public.
