Open source is the fabric of modern enterprise IT, but as adoption surges, so does the complexity of managing it. New research, based on a global survey of 500 DevOps and IT leaders, reveals that many organizations are building on top of fragmented processes, with 35% still relying on manual code reviews for security. This report analyzes the emerging friction points and provides a roadmap for a securely designed architecture.
Inside the report:
- The OS as a strategic control plane: Why 98% of organizations believe the operating system is critical for supply chain hygiene.
- Dependency and risk analysis: A clear view of where vulnerabilities hide, from cloud-based applications to complex transitive dependencies.
- The operational reality: An investigation into why patching still slips, highlighting the 53% of teams delayed by compatibility concerns.
- Cross-team dynamics: Analysis of the tensions between DevOps and platform engineering that hold back strategic progress.
What you will learn:
- How to implement a securely designed architecture: Transition from manual bottlenecks to automated, repeatable security practices.
- Tactics for verifiable provenance: How to ensure the authenticity of thousands of upstream packages and libraries.
- Strategies for alignment: A framework to unify DevOps, security, and operations under a consistent governance model.
