Open source software is integral to modern technology, with 99% of the world's software containing open source components, making the security of such code crucial due to its widespread use and potential vulnerabilities. GitHub, as a leading developer platform, emphasizes the importance of securing open source by empowering developers, especially through tools like Dependabot and CodeQL, which help maintainers address security issues. At the White House's Open Source Software Security Summit, GitHub highlighted the need for industry collaboration to protect the software supply chain and support open source maintainers. GitHub offers various resources, including security training through the GitHub Security Lab and financial support via GitHub Sponsors, to bolster the security capabilities of developers. With over 73 million developers and 200 million repositories, GitHub is committed to advancing software security through partnerships with governments, academia, and other organizations, aiming to ensure a safer and more secure future for the software industry.
