The adoption of open-source software (OSS) has surged to accelerate development and reduce costs. However, OSS use introduces significant risks, including licensing restrictions and security vulnerabilities.

This white paper explores the challenges of managing OSS components in a DevOps environment. It outlines how open-source vulnerabilities can be exploited, citing the Equifax breach as an example. The paper also examines how manual efforts to monitor OSS usage struggle to keep pace with rapid DevOps changes.
