Managing Open Source Risk with Device Composition Analysis for Connected Devices
Development teams work hard to quickly and efficiently produce the components used in connected devices. Increasingly, this means using open source software, libraries, and operating systems to aid in that efficiency.
While there are many benefits to using open source components, they also present a fair amount of risk. Not only could these components be insecure, but they may be accompanied by licensing rules that may affect your organization from a legal standpoint. The risk is especially high if you’re sourcing your device components from a vendor, because you often don’t know which components are being used or how secure their development processes are.
