Abstract

This talk will be a broad rundown of all the new and exciting ways that things can go wrong in your security when working in the open. Based on years of experience with security in both open source and closed software organisations, Alistair will present a view of how information security detection and response changes when building open source software and working with the open source community. In particular, we'll be looking at the areas where traditional approaches to security will fall short, and what you can do to head off the most common threats facing open source development work. Whether you're a developer building OSS, an admin running infrastructure for open source organisations, or a security professional trying to keep abreast of our evolving threat landscape, you'll get to hear about all the unique security challenges of open source, and what you need to do to get ahead of them.
