Security Badging Open-Source Projects

In this episode of ConversingLabs, host Carolynn van Arsdale interviews Kadi McKean, Community Manager at ReversingLabs, to discuss a new initiative aimed at securing the open source software supply chain: the Spectra Assure Community Badge. As a result of threat actors continuing to target open source software (OSS) platforms like PyPI and npm, it’s become increasingly difficult for developers to avoid malicious packages. Kadi explains how this new, free badging system can help the community quickly identify which open source projects meet the most rigorous security standards.
