![]() ![]() In the first category, participants discussed ideas to make it easier for developers to write secure code by integrating security features into development tools and securing the infrastructure used to build, warehouse and distribute code, like using techniques such as code signing and stronger digital identities. The discussion focused on three topics: Preventing security defects and vulnerabilities in code and open source packages, improving the process for finding defects and fixing them, and shortening the response time for distributing and implementing fixes. Participants had a substantive and constructive discussion on how to make a difference in the security of open source software, while effectively engaging with and supporting, the open source community. Open source software brings unique value, and has unique security challenges, because of its breadth of use and the number of volunteers responsible for its ongoing security maintenance. Most major software packages include open source software – including software used by the national security community. Software is ubiquitous across every sector of our economy and foundational to the products and services Americans use every day. Today, the White House convened government and private sector stakeholders to discuss initiatives to improve the security of open source software and ways new collaboration could rapidly drive improvements.
