In this conversation with Tidelift CEO and co-founder Donald Fischer, Red Hat VP of Product Security Vincent Danen will challenge some of the common perceptions about open source software security.

When it comes to open source software security, many organizations rely heavily on software scanning (often called software composition analysis or SCA) as the primary means of defense.
Learn how one large organization saved over $1.6M in manual package evaluation time and eliminated over 3,000 points of risk in applications running in production.
In this guide, we'll discuss how your organization can reduce risk by avoiding “bad” open source packages.
