Flexera has released FlexNet Code 2018, according to their press release, this makes it easier for software suppliers to add a new layer of trust and transparency into their software supply chain.

Only a decade or so ago, organisations knew exactly what was being written and used in their software applications because employees were responsible for the building and, occasionally, the management of a few third-party components.

The current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies, or Industry 4.0 as it’s called, is revolutionizing the way products are planned, produced, sold and used. As manufacturers transition from the hardware-centric business models of the past to the current digital model characterized by software, data and services, it’s clear that the IoT is shifting company operations and creating new revenue opportunities. Businesses need to have a plan ready to stay ahead of the curve – and the following tactics will boost results if integrated into their respective IoT monetization strategies.

Open Source Software (OSS) has changed the way software works. It’s found in almost everything, with almost all new apps and modern systems incorporating some open source components. The vast majority, 78 per cent, of companies run open source software, and two-thirds create software for customers built on open source; but like many things that come free, there are always rules to follow.

CIOs can increase protection by supporting a standardised, risk-based approach to managing vulnerabilities: determine criticality, prioritise based on risk, not hype, and fix using a conservative mitigation approach.

The accural of technical debt, complexity, and license issues are among the top issue faced in the open source community.

Open Source Software (OSS) has changed how we write software -- the developer community shares code and provides useful guidance and continued enhancements to this shared code.

Industry 4.0 is changing the way goods are planned, produced, sold and used. Manufacturers are moving from traditional hardware-centric business models to new digital business models that leverage the value of software, data and services.

We wanted to know who is having the biggest influence in the open source community, so we asked some industry experts for their thoughts.
