How OpenSSF Is Helping Us Build More Secure Software

Open source software is everywhere, and the whole world is dependent on open source software. We consume a lot of open source projects, but the big problem is when it comes to security how do we trust that open source projects are secure? Also, if you are someone who is creating or maintaining a project, how do you make it secure? How do you know you are building the software in a secure way?

That's where OpenSSF comes in a separate foundation under the Linux Foundation that helps to build secure software. There are so many projects under OpenSSF that help secure our software at different levels.

In this talk, I will talk about what OpenSSF is, what the different projects in OpenSSF are, and also give a demo of those projects.

• Attendees will understand the purpose of OpenSSF.

• Learn how projects under OpenSSF help in securing open source software.

• Discover how to implement these projects in real-world scenarios.
