Summary

Snyk has been actively involved with the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) to support its mission of securing the open source ecosystem. A recent summit meeting between the OpenSSF and the US Government departments discussed the importance of securing open source software, with three top priorities emerging: providing security education, securing repositories, and enabling cross-industry incident response capabilities. Snyk has collaborated on publishing guidelines for securing open source repositories, including a Source Code Management Best Practices Guide that provides developers, maintainers, and organizations using GitHub and GitLab SCM platforms with clear guidelines on setting up and maintaining security.
