Open source powers nearly everything we build. But how do you know the code youโ€™re relying on is actually secure? ๐Ÿ”

Join our partners at the Virginia Cyber Security Partnership (VCSP) on October 22 for a virtual session exploring 10 Properties of Secure Open Source Software with Michael Mehlberg, CEO of Dark Sky Technology, Inc.

With software supply chain attacks continuing to raise the stakes, Michael will break down practical ways to:
โ†’ Identify the properties of secure open-source software
โ†’ Detect bad actors and malicious code
โ†’ Evaluate the health and security of a package
โ†’ Strengthen your software supply chain before deployment

๐Ÿ“… October 22 | 12โ€“1 PM ET
๐Ÿ’ป Virtual Webinar

If open source is part of your tech stack, this is one worth adding to your calendar. Register now: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UNSuRnVVR_WgtkNERuev9A
