For insurance organizations, balancing cybersecurity and technology innovation is a complex challenge.
Cybersecurity is crucial in protecting customer data, securing transactions and payments, and fraud prevention. At the same time, technology innovation plays a transformative role in areas such as mobile applications and digital platforms, predictive modeling, and connected devices.
Organizations that navigate this challenge and can both move fast and innovate while also keeping critical systems secure will be best positioned to deliver better customer experiences and outcomes.
Open source software has become the foundation for building modern, customizable, and cost-efficient solutions.
Open source is used in a variety of insurance functions from document management to geospatial analytics, and risk modeling simulations. This substantial dependence on open source software has prompted insurance organizations to strategically prioritize the security and effective maintenance of the open source software supply chain so they can continue to innovate while minimizing risk.
Tidelift helps address this need by giving leading insurance organizations the tools and data they need to manage their open source software supply chain effectively, streamlining costs and reducing open source related security risk.
“[The Tidelift maintainer] relationship is pure gold. The openness you have with the open source maintainers and the ability to talk with the consumers about how we’re using their products—we have a direct line of communication from their fixes and what versions we should be using.”

Tidelift is the only company that partners with and pays open source maintainers to implement enterprise class secure software development practices and validate the practices they follow so organizations can have the same confidence in the security of their open source that they have in their own code. In addition, our relationships ensure that maintainers are contractually committed to continuing these practices into the future so that health care organizations can confidently make long term investments in the software they use.
