What You Need to Know
Zeroing in on answers to the right questions and understanding your organization’s scale of compliance and security tolerance are keys to laying a solid foundation for a robust open source management strategy.
WHAT COMPANIES SHOULD BE ASKING
High Level Organization Questions
- Who wrote the code?
- Where in your organization is the code deployed?
- Have you uncovered license compliance and security issues?
- Have the issues been remediated?
- What is your ongoing, repeatable process for managing open source?

- What open source packages are you using?
- Do we have redundant or outdated technologies?
Legal and Security Team
- What are the open source disclosures for each of your products?
- Are you compliant with open source license obligations?
- Which applications contain known license compliance risks or security vulnerabilities?
Engineering Management
- Where are we using open source across the company?
- What is the impact of known vulnerabilities?

DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO OPEN SOURCE MANAGEMENT
Take the next step and determine your company’s open source management approach:
Compliance, Security, or just enough of both.
| Compliance Centric | Vulnerability Centric |
|---|---|
| Primary concern is IP risk | Primary focus is security risk and components with vulnerabilities |
| Include standard process for OS management and strict outcomes | Organizations allow for more ad-hoc analysis |
| Complex fixes for remediation | Typically have upgrade-based fixes |
| Forward looking organization | Manages past and present while protecting the future |
