But in the words of a recent Atlantic Council report, “society has a software problem.” As more and more products and services rely on the use of unvetted third party code and open source libraries, cyber risks and opportunities for exploitation have surged.

While the DoDIN APL does a tremendous job of outlining the polices necessary for hardware to be vetted and deployed within the DoD’s technology infrastructure, little has been done to define what constitutes software as secure. To successfully serve our nation’s software needs, vendors need access to clearly defined polices, processes, and practices for objectively assessing software code risk – without breaking the bank.  LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
