We know cyberattacks are on the rise and that both individuals and organizations are targets. But in recent times, two things have become readily apparent.
First, reducing the risk of cyberattacks is both a personal and professional challenge. Our lives are inextricably linked and everyone needs to protect themselves at home and at work.
Second, we are all in this together. No single company can move the needle enough on security. Open source offers transparency and community benefits to mutually solving security challenges in a way that was not possible before open source models emerged.
The Open Source Security Summit is a forum to explore the intersection of open source and security. We chose to focus on credential management initially, which remains a critical first line of defense for individuals and companies to mitigate cyberattacks.
Building upon years of industry open source and security efforts, we aim to engage a community of like-minded enthusiasts sharing their ideals and tactics to make online experiences safer for everyone.
Our initial summit features industry leaders pushing both the industry and their organizations forward.
Mårten will share his views on Open Source and Open Security Industry Directions, including what we see now, and can expect in the future. Mårten’s experience as the CEO of MySQL, the world's most popular open source database, and now CEO of HackerOne, which delivers the industry standard for hacker-powered security, puts him in a unique position to see how open source and open security are converging to take us in new directions.
