Snyk joins OpenSSF: Tackling open source supply chain security with a developer-first approach
Blog post from Snyk
Snyk has joined the Linux Foundation's Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) as a premier member, alongside other prominent companies, to tackle open source supply chain security with a developer-first approach. The vast majority of applications are built using open source, which introduces security risk due to its communal nature. Collaboration projects like OpenSSF aim to formulate standardized secure development practices, starting with developers who decide how to build their applications and maintain the integrity of their code. Snyk's solutions have always been used by open source developers to build securely, providing tools such as visibility into open source components, vulnerability research, and interactive security education. The goal is to work together to formulate a powerful approach to secure open source at scale, supporting both open source maintainers and individual contributors alike.
