This annual review will highlight the most significant legal developments related to open source software in 2024, focusing on topics that were resolved, those that got started and what we can expect to see in coming years.

The 2024 Open Source Year in Review

Just as most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly include third party software functionality via calls to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation.
 
Join us for a discussion about web services and how they can affect M&A and other transactions. We’ll cover:
 
• The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services
• Typical terms of service and common pitfalls
• Real-world examples of these risks
• How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or how a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks

Web Services & APIs: Impact on M&A and Other Transactions

Legislation requiring stringent software security practices by software producers is being passed around the globe. This requires organizations to rethink their approach to software security, which industry standards they follow, and the best practices for their software development teams.

NIST has produced guidance known as the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). The SSDF is a series of practices and associated tasks that serve as a baseline for teams seeking to securely develop software in a standardized way. Attestation to conformance with a subset of the SSDF has been signaled by the U.S.

In this webinar, you will learn the best practices for performing an SSDF readiness assessment including:

• Whether your organization’s software development practices align with the SSDF
• How to determine which controls are lacking for conformance with guidelines
• How to perform associated corrective recommendations on time
• Case studies of successful U.S. government attestations

Best Practices for Leveraging the SSDF

Technology drives business value and understanding the intricacies of software due diligence has become paramount in M&A. While mitigating risk has always been the priority, the risk landscape has changed over time, the risk categories have expanded, and the diligence process has evolved.
