The days when financial institutions relied solemnly on proprietary code are over. Today, even the largest financial services firms have realized the benefits of using open source technology to build powerful, innovative applications at a reduced time-to-market. However, the financial services industry faces strict regulatory requirements that present it with a unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to open source usage (both consumption and contribution). FINOS is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to accelerate collaboration and innovation in financial services through the adoption of open source software, standards and best practices. Together with WhiteSource, they are able to provide a safe environment for developers to use open source components freely and fearlessly. Join FINOS and WhiteSource as they discuss: The challenges of open source usage The state of open source vulnerabilities management How FINOS uses WhiteSource to ensure the security and IP compliance of FINOS-produced open source software

The cost of fixing security and quality issues is rising significantly, as the
development cycle advances.

66% of companies have already implemented
application testing during or even pre-build stage
In what stage of the SDLC do you spend most of
your time implementing security measures?

16. 16
In what stage of the SDLC do you spend most of your time implementing security measures, by open source usage?
The higher usage for open source, the more likely that
developers would implement application security tools

3Shifting left
with the right
tools

22. 22
Both teams need security tools, but in order to shift left security you need to empower
your developers.
What are the “right” tools?
Governance solutions Developers tools
Used by security teams and management
to get full visibility and control over the
security risks in their software
Used by developers to
remediate vulnerabilities

23. 23
Each Have Different Requirements
▪ Visibility and control
through automation
▪ Reports, prioritization and
policy enforcement
▪ Information on issues and
remediation support
▪ Integration with dev tools,
real-time alerts and
remediation insights
