Open Source Software Security Management
In this certification, learners will learn how open source software enters their software supply chain, assess and remediate vulnerabilities using SCA tools and vulnerability databases, and implement artifact management controls to govern what reaches developers.

What’s in this certification?
Intro to Open Source Software Security Management
Open source powers modern software, but most organizations adopt it faster than they can secure it. Discover how open source enters your supply chain, why it introduces unique security risks, and where the governance gap puts your organization at risk.
How to Manage Risks of Open Source Software
Knowing you have open source risk is only half the battle. Learn how to detect and assess vulnerabilities across the development lifecycle, evaluate packages, and choose the right remediation strategy to start reducing risk now.
How to Get Secure Open Source Software to Your Developers
Finding vulnerabilities after they reach your codebase means you're already behind. Learn how artifact managers and curated package catalogs let you control what open source reaches your developers in the first place and how to build policies and workflows that keep your supply chain secure by default.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of open source software in modern organizations, including how it enters the software supply chain, why it has become mission-critical, and why governance has not kept pace with adoption.
- Apply vulnerability detection practices across the software development lifecycle and be able to identify where and how risks surface, from development through production.
- Select and execute appropriate remediation strategies while identifying the trade-offs between patching, upgrading, replacing, and mitigating, and recognizing where common organizational approaches fall short.
- Move from reactive to proactive open source security, including building a practical, actionable OSS risk practice even without complete visibility, using tools like SBOMs, SCA, and upstream curation.
