Headline speakers for this event include Brian Krebs, cybersecurity reporter and author of popular security and investigation site Krebs on Security, Zack Kass, AI advisor and the former Head of GTM at OpenAI, and Rachel Tobac, white hat hacker and CEO of SocialProof Security. The Summit brings together business leaders, industry visionaries, and technology users to chart a path forward and highlight the future of open source security solutions.
About the Open Source Security Summit
The free and virtual Open Source Security Summit is a forum to explore the intersection of open source and security. Building on the previous three Summits, this year’s event will continue the conversation with cross-industry experts and dive deeper into why open source solutions lead to better security outcomes, as well as how using open source tools can build trust with customers and consumers.
The event kicked off in 2020, with the conversation centered around cybersecurity and credential management – a critical first line of defense for individuals and companies to mitigate cyberattacks. Subsequent events expanded to cover the topic in-depth, with attendees and business stakeholders discussing their open source strategies, challenges, and efforts to make open source security understandable to both software developers and users.
