Lying in Wait: Uncovering Hidden Threats in Open Source Software
Leverage a threat intelligence dataset tied to state-sponsored actors, designed to seamlessly support your SIEM and DLP systems
Learn how adversarial nation-states are infiltrating open-source software ecosystems to advance their respective national interests and objectives.
Open source software powers everything from mobile apps to national infrastructure. But the same transparency and collaboration that make OSS powerful also leave it vulnerable to infiltration by well-resourced adversaries.
This report details how state-sponsored actors from the PRC, Russia, and North Korea are quietly embedding themselves in development communities, introducing potential backdoors and persistent threats into the software infrastructure trusted by businesses and governments.
