Open source is widely used in software development because it allows you to create high-quality software quickly - especially with the use of AI-assisted coding tools. But if left unmanaged, open source can lead to license compliance issues as well as security and code quality risks. Whether you’re on the buy side or sell side, these risks could negatively affect valuation in an M&A transaction.

Join this webinar for an inside look at the data Black Duck Audits complied in 2024 from the hundreds of tech transactions and thousands of codebases we audited. We’ll cover:

• Open source license and security risks by the numbers
• Why audits have become the norm in M&A tech due diligence
• How you can get a complete picture of open source risks

As you start down the path of using generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in software development to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase revenue, you must also be aware of the associated legal issues. How can you leverage AI and minimize the risk it presents?

Join this webinar in which a panel of legal experts and practitioners will answer your questions about the rise of AI in software development, and how you can responsibly leverage this new technology. We’ll cover:

• The benefits and risks for using AI in software development 
• The evolving legal and regulatory landscape 
• Practical advice for using AI today and into the future

Ask the Experts: AI and Software Development

AI-powered development has greatly increased the rate at which software evolves. But using artificial intelligence as a proxy for security-aware developers introduces a variety of risks to the business.

Organizations must prepare for the complexities of AI-powered development. This requires establishing consistent and scalable DevSecOps initiatives. The discussion will cover

• Innovation and trends in AI-powered software development
• The inherent risks to application security and business operations of using AI and third-party digital artifacts
• Best practices for establishing application security testing and issue remediation within DevOps workflows that include AI
• Ways to use AI to empower developers and reduce the opportunity of an attack

Preparing DevSecOps for AI Development

Securing software takes teamwork—a unified approach from development through testing and into production. But each team has a distinct set of requirements and workflows that need to align to realize a concerted push for security. And while developers influence risk posture, they are often not trained in or focused on software security practices.

How can you make the effort that developers and DevOps teams are already putting in more valuable to the business? What's the best way to cultivate highly security-conscious developers so your software becomes more secure over time? Is there a way to derive tangible benefits for the business, the team, and the individual?

Join us as we break down a five-step process with real-world applicability. Topics include

• The critical distinction between developers' security awareness and their security capability
• Mechanisms to automate risk detection and accelerate remediation across the pipeline, including at the developer desktop
• How to establish security gates in DevOps pipelines in a way that doesn't derail development or lead to missed shipping deadlines
• How to create a DevSecOps initiative that can evolve with the business and enable developers to sustain security requirements as part of their day-to-day
• Ways to maximize security's value to the business and its customers

5 Steps to Achieving Developer-First Security

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) will fundamentally change the way that software is built. Whether they are developing or using AI tools, organizations must understand the opportunities and risks involved, and evolve governance, policies and processes to address those risks.

Join this webinar for a deep dive into the issues that arise when using GAI in software development. We’ll cover:

• Open source data and software licenses and risks with AI
• Licensing and clearance considerations for materials used to train AI models
• Licensing considerations in building, training, and using AI models

Generative AI, Training Data, Open Source, and GitHub Copilot, Oh My!

The world of application security can be overwhelming for newcomers. The technical jargon, complex solutions, and confusing methodologies make it hard to navigate. It’s essential to understand threat modeling and threat and risk analysis, but that can be difficult without the right guidance.

Here’s the good news: threat modeling at its core is intuitive and adaptable. With the right approach, it can be a powerful tool that helps you understand risks and make informed security decisions while aligning with your organization's unique needs.

In this webinar, we’ll break down the complexity of threat modeling. We'll address common questions and show why it’s a central part of application security. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of
• What threat modeling is and why it matters
• How to tailor threat modeling to fit your organization and industry
• Where to find resources for further learning and practical implementation

Threat Modeling: Charting Your Security Journey

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
