Open Source Summit – September 27-30, 2021

The usage of open-source systems and open-source software can provide a number of benefits, but it also carries a degree of risk in terms of data exposure. This risk should not be trivialized as ransomware threats grow more severe, as compliance requirements grow more strict, and as data becomes more critical to relationships with customers and to day-to-day operations. In this session, Krista Macomber of the Evaluator Group will provide an independent industry analyst perspective into just what these risk factors are, and how to mitigate them. Attend for a discussion of best practices to ensure not only data privacy and protection, but also adherence to compliance requirements.
