Managing Open Source Risk with Device Composition Analysis for Connected Devices
Open source risks and rewards
Development teams work hard to quickly and efficiently produce
the components used in connected devices. Increasingly, this means
using open source software, libraries, and operating systems to aid in
that efficiency.
While there are many benefits to using open source components,
they also present a fair amount of risk. Not only could these
components be insecure, but they may be accompanied by licensing
rules that may affect your organization from a legal standpoint. The
risk is especially high if you’re sourcing your device components from
a vendor, because you often don’t know which components are being
used or how secure their development processes are.
