Managing open source software risk for media organizations

For media organizations, balancing cybersecurity and technology innovation is a complex challenge.

Cybersecurity is crucial in protecting intellectual property and customer data, securing broadcast and distribution networks, and securing online platforms and websites. At the same time, technology innovation plays a transformative role in areas such as content creation and production, e-sports and gaming, and personalization and recommendation algorithms.

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 user 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 media functions from content management systems to streaming services, and collaborative tooling.

This substantial dependence on open source software has prompted media 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 media 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.

“Open source software supply chain threats are much broader than what CVEs tell us. More and more, organizations are starting to recognize the importance of minimizing the likelihood of being exposed to a vulnerability in the first place.”
