CA Veracode's Chris Wysopal on Understanding and Mitigating Open Source Security Issues
Organizations are increasingly incorporating open source code elements into their development to accommodate agile development methodologies and swift go-to-market requirements, but not many are addressing the security concerns that follow this decision, says CA Veracode CTO Chris Wysopal.

In a video interview at RSA Conference 2018, Wysopal discusses :
- The rising use of open source code in software development;
- The lack of security ownership with open source modules and components;
- The need for incentivizing developers to write secure code.
As CTO at CA Veracode, Wysopal oversees technology strategy and information security. Prior to co-founding Veracode in 2006, he was vice president of research and development at security consultancy @stake, which was acquired by Symantec.
