FINOS’ Post

Watch our CTO and co-founder, Mikhail Swift, talk about Enhancing Open Source Software Integrity and share our company's focus on ensuring software integrity in #opensource projects, emphasizing the importance of provenance and open collaboration. Thank you Mitch Ashley for hosting us again on Techstrong TV during the recent #OSSummit North America in Seattle. From the interview: TestifySec prioritizes open source, providing assurances about where and when software is built, while tackling challenges like key management and integrating into existing development pipelines. Looking ahead, they aim to enhance policy distribution and security, leveraging projects like TUF to ensure the right artifacts and policies are enforced securely.

📢 What is the FINOS Open Source Readiness Project? Listen to Rob Moffat walk you through what it entails, discuss accessible valuable resources, and extend a call to action to engage with our new Maturity Checklist Beta. ➡️ OSR Microsite: https://bit.ly/3U4SRkc ➡️ Maturity Checklist Beta: https://bit.ly/3xpCm9F The aim of the Open Source Readiness (OSR) initiative is to empower regulated financial services firms to leverage open source effectively, whether through utilization or contribution. To address various challenges, the OSR Special Interest Group (SIG) has developed a comprehensive website that deconstructs open source activities, offering articles on best practices, insights on CLAs, OSPOs, compliance, communication policies, and strategies. Additionally, we've curated essential Linux Foundation training, including our own training and certification for financial services developers. As for today's call to action, we invite you to explore our new Open Source Maturity Checklist currently in beta testing. Evaluate your firm's open source maturity across various dimensions and receive a graphical report illustrating your overall standing. Your feedback on this tool is invaluable! Join us in shaping the future of open source in the financial industry. Let's drive innovation together! 🚀 #FINOS #OpenSource #OSR #MaturityChecklist #OpenSource #Fintech #FinancialServices

🎫 Unlocking Secure, Open Supply Chains - Join Emily Fox of Red Hat at our Open Source in Finance Forum on September 30th & October 1st. 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02M9wCK0 Talk Abstract Consuming open source is only a risky proposition if you don’t take the time to engineer a process that mitigates risk through security best practices of open source. Building a program for your organization to securely consume and contribute to open source is no different than developing new software. It is entirely determined by the practices, policies, technical controls, risk tolerance, and culture you establish and reinforce. From your software supply chain to your running services, open source can be both a reference and a guide to conducting the necessary diligence so that your investment in open source is a reward for you, your engineers, and your business. In this talk, we’ll explore assumptions about open source and open source security, tactics for managing secure open source consumption, reducing or mitigating risk presented by open source, and how to successfully use triangle composition to drive your efforts. 📆 OSFF Schedule: https://hubs.ly/Q02M9vhv0 Event presented by FINOS & The Linux Foundation #OSFF2024 #OSinFinance #opensource #fintech #financialservices #techevent #conference #opensourcecommunity

🎥 Forking in Open Source Could Be Costing Your Firm Money 🎥 When staff can’t contribute to open source, firms often end up maintaining internal forks of projects. This duplication of effort is costly—engineering time that could be saved if contributions were allowed. Rob Moffat would love to hear your experiences! If you have data or stories on this issue, please get in touch as he’s preparing a report with The Linux Foundation Research for OSFF New York. 📧 Email him: rob.moffat@finos.org 🔍 Check out our Open Source Readiness Maturity Model & Checklist: https://hubs.ly/Q02Kc7jx0 🌐 Learn more about Open Source in Finance Forum: https://hubs.ly/Q02Kc9-l0 #OpenSource #FINOS #OSFF #TechCommunity #FinancialServices #Fintech #Regtech
