Implementing Security Checks at Strategic Points & Addressing Them Businesses will continue to rely on third-party vendors to supply their custom software. IT departments will continue to purchase off-the-shelf software and rely on system integrators for customized software components. DevOps teams, custom software providers, system integrators and off-the-shelf software will continue to leverage the collective, innovative power derived from open source. Given that these trends are likely to accelerate further, businesses can address a significant number of known open source security vulnerabilities by implementing vulnerability checks at strategic points – and then fixing them. In a typical platform, it is impossible to know what open source code elements exist in the software. Most platforms are an amalgamation of software developed in-house and by third-party contractors. It has likely gone through several upgrades, and key purchasers and contributors are no longer with the business or the custom software vendors. Exacerbating the issue is that while custom software makers provide their clients with lists of software components in the code they are delivering, they themselves are unlikely to know all of the open source code elements that exist in their code. This is just as true for the in-house development teams. A solution is to use a binary code scanner to determine open source code components any time new software is procured or developed. This will give the security team the opportunity to understand what exactly the software is composed of, and gives the DevOps team the ability to address known vulnerabilities prior to deployment, while ensuring compliance with all applicable licenses. Additionally, whether the software development model is waterfall or Agile, it is critical for these scans to be built into the early part of the development cycle. Recognizing the existence of known open source security vulnerabilities in the code is not enough. There must be adequate time to address them through patching and/or other workarounds. With the constant drive to improve software functionality for every aspect of a business, companies will increasingly rely on third-party software that contains open source code components. Failing to understand and address open source code license issues and known vulnerabilities in newly developed or procured software is a recipe for brand damage and financial loss. Implementing binary scans early in development or procurement and allowing the DevOps teams to have the software corrected will save businesses time and money in the long-run.
