Open Source SecurityAuthor: Josh Bressers
Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works. Theres a lot of good work happening that doesnt get attention because theres no marketing department behind it, they dont have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Lets focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to hear from the people doing the work, they know whats up, they have a lot to teach us. We just have to listen. Language: en Genres: Technology Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Discussing the Open Source, Open Threats? paper with Behzad and Ali
Sunday, 24 August, 2025
In this episode I chat with the authors of a recent paper on open source security: Open Source, Open Threats? Investigating Security Challenges in Open-Source Software. I chat with Ali Akhavani and Behzad Ousat about their findings. There are interesting data points in the paper such as a 98% increase in reported vulnerabilities compared to a 25% growth in open source ecosystems. We discuss the challenges of maintaining security in a rapidly expanding digital landscape, and learn about the role of community engagement and automated tools in addressing these discrepancies. It's a great paper and a fantastic discussion. The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/2025-08-oss-threats-ali-behzad/
