Open Source for Classified Environments

🔒 How do we secure software in an era of open-source dominance and AI-driven threats? On this episode of Tech Transforms, Scott Orton and Mike Mehlberg join Carolyn Ford to explore the future of secure software development. They tackle: ✅ The Power of SBOMs – Why software transparency is a game-changer (and why some companies still resist it) ✅ Open-Source Risks – How attackers exploit vulnerabilities in widely used packages and what to do about it ✅ Rust Programming Language – The case for transitioning to a more secure, memory-safe coding environment ✅ AI in Software Development – How AI is transforming cybersecurity, from automated vulnerability detection to mitigating risks before they happen ✅ Cross-Domain Solutions – The push toward hygienic networks and a proactive approach to security in classified environments They also discuss real-world security threats, including a recent open-source software attack that nearly went undetected. Plus, Scott shares his vision for AI inspired by non-human intelligence (think squids and insects! 🦑). 🔹 If you're in software development, cybersecurity, or tech leadership, this episode is a must-listen! 📲 Connect with Scott and Mike on LinkedIn for more insights. 🎧 Listen now and stay ahead in the world of secure software and cyber defense!
