This session should help you understand risks related to using OSS libraries. It should also give you a bit of knowledge on how to mitigate them. Attacks against the software supply chain are one of the most pervasive threats that today's enterprises face, with bad actors launching almost 7,000 software supply chain attacks in just the past year. Software supply chain attacks are used to steal data, corrupt targeted systems, and gain access to other parts of the network through lateral movement. Presenter: Kean Hankins is an Enterprise Sales Manager with WhiteSource Software and started in Application Security over 20 years ago introducing DAST and WAF technologies to the market. He has held roles with Hewlett-Packard, Oracle and IBM since graduating with a Master of Science Degree in Business from Purdue University. His hobbies include ultra-running, mountain biking and travel. WhiteSource Software helps companies secure their software by not only detecting vulnerabilities, but also by fixing them. As the pioneer of software composition analysis (SCA), WhiteSource Software has been a leader in open-source application security for more than 10 years, and now offers custom code security through static application security testing (SAST). WhiteSource SCA and SAST technology integrate easily into the developers workflow, protecting organizations against the most critical vulnerabilities, while reducing risk and increasing the productivity of security and development teams. *Parking located behind Tech Bldg (see “X” on map below) **Contact for assistance – 443-866-5088
