The days when financial institutions were hesitant to adopt open source software are over. Today, even the largest firms and banks in the financial sector have realized the massive benefits of using open source technology to build powerful, innovative applications at a reduced time-to-market. While the advantages certainly speak for themselves, using open source comes with its own unique set of challenges and risks.
Join our live panel discussion led by industry leaders from Wells Fargo, Microsoft, FINOS and WhiteSource as they discuss:
- The current state of open source vulnerabilities management
- Best practices for incorporating security and compliance checks earlier in the developer workflow
- How to increase confidence in your development process by making audits and automated security scans a core component of your development lifecycle
- Any other questions submitted by security and development guests from the finance sector
