The panelists outline the evolution of a firm's maturity:The OSPO as a Catalyst: How an Open Source Program Office acts as the "connective tissue" between Legal, Risk, Cyber, and Engineering.Maturity Modeling: Moving from passive Usage (SCA scanning) to active Contribution and eventually Strategic Leadership in the ecosystem.The "Security Sandwich": Balancing the speed of open source adoption with the rigorous supply chain security standards required by regulators.⚙️ Scaling Contribution: The Morgan Stanley & RBC PlaybooksThe leaders discuss how they’ve automated the "toil" out of open source contribution to empower thousands of developers:Frictionless Approval: Using tools like GitProxy and automated CLA (Contributor License Agreement) management to shorten the distance from "Idea" to "Pull Request."InnerSource as a Stepping Stone: Brittany Istenes explains how InnerSource (applying open-source patterns internally) builds the "muscle memory" needed for external contribution in a safe environment.Policy-as-Code: Leveraging frameworks like CALM (Common Architectural Language Model) to embed compliance and architectural standards directly into the development lifecycle.🛡️ Navigating the Regulatory LandscapeIn 2026, regulatory scrutiny of open source has intensified. The panel addresses how they meet these evolving standards:The OSR Body of Knowledge (BoK): Utilizing the FINOS-curated BoK to standardize "what good looks like" for auditors.Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) & Liability: Preparing for new global laws that hold software producers—including financial institutions—accountable for the security of their released code.SBOMs & Transparency: Transitioning from "knowing what we use" to "proving how we secure it" through high-fidelity Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs).The takeaway: Scaling open source readiness is no longer a technical choice; it is a business imperative for resilience and talent. By operationalizing OSPOs and contributing back to common standards, financial institutions can reduce redundant development costs, attract top-tier talent, and proactively satisfy the most demanding global regulators.#FINOS #OSFF #OpenSourceReadiness #OSPO #InnerSource #MorganStanley #RBC #FannieMae #FinTech #RegTech #SBOM #cyberresilience
