Open Source Exposure via Your Software Supply Chain: On-Demand MCLE

This recording illustrates with examples common areas of exposure in software supply chains and recommend mitigation and management strategies.
Development organizations increasingly rely on multiple external sources of software to increase the velocity of application development. Outsourcers and external suppliers are no different, using open source that is then passed on to their customers.
The recent Microsoft Windows 7 tool example highlights the problem: a contract developer used GPL licensed code that unknowingly was distributed with a Microsoft product. Microsoft did the right thing by admitting they were in violation of the terms of the agreement, pulled the tool from their online Store, and promised to make the source and binary files available.
Open source in software supply chains has caused similar problems for other companies.
