What’s next: Open source security
Join us November 12, 2026, as we launch the first of a series of virtual events. Our first offering features security leaders, platform teams, and developers discussing how they’re adapting and preparing for what’s next amid rapid changes in the open source security landscape.
More about the event
Build a machine-speed approach to address critical vulnerabilities
New developments in enterprise open source software move fast—and so do sophisticated security breaches. To keep pace and better address today’s risks and tomorrow’s threats, organizations need to shift from human-speed remediation to machine-speed response.
Explore key issues
Get the insights you need from 15- to 25-minute roundtable discussions and presentations focused on the most critical challenges facing your teams.
The new security reality
AI is changing the speed and economics of both attacks and defense. What happens when vulnerability discovery moves faster than traditional, human-led processes we rely on to remediate risk?
Know what you have. Prove what you can trust.
Open source provenance, software supply chains, software bills of materials, dependencies, policies, and evidence. How do teams know what’s actually running—and whether they can trust it?
Remediate at machine speed—without an upgrade tax
AI is speeding up vulnerability discovery, but traditional remediation can disrupt stable systems. How can organizations address critical risks without costly upgrades?
When attackers & defenders both rely on AI
What changes should we expect—and what actions can we take—when attackers and defenders can discover, exploit, and respond to vulnerabilities at machine speed?
Practitioners are changing their security operating model. But how?
Finding a verified fix is one thing. Deploying it safely and quickly is another. How can AI, automation, and CI/CD help remediation keep pace?
The new open source security playbook
What does readiness for machine-speed remediation look like? Explore how teams can create a practical path from dependency visibility to modernized pipelines and safer deployment.
5 ways to strengthen open source security
Machine-speed security requires more than fast fixes. Explore 5 practical moves to build software supply chain trust, reduce the upgrade tax, and deploy verified fixes more quickly.
Hear from the experts
Our panelists and presenters will discuss how organizations of all kinds are adapting now and anticipating what’s next in open source security.
About the “What’s next” global event series
Turning what’s new into what’s next for your organization
No matter your industry, it’s never been more difficult to anticipate the obstacles that tomorrow’s innovation will bring. “What’s next” is a new monthly series designed to give you access to the people, ideas, and collaborations that are shaping responses to the emerging issues your teams navigate every day.
Mark your calendar for December 15, 2026, when the next event in our series will focus on virtualization—offering advice about whether to migrate or modernize and how to prepare for challenges and opportunities in 2027 and beyond.
