S3E27: Varun Badhwar - OSS Governance and Vulnerability Management


Listen Later

- Before we dive into the technical topics, you're a repeat Founder, including some acquisitions of firms you've founded. Can you tell us a bit about that Founders journey and what leads you to creating organizations?

- Something you've been focused on a lot lately is Software Supply Chain Security. Why is this such a complicated topic, and has it always been, or do you feel it is increasingly complex? 

- One of the challenges organizations have around OSS use is OSS Governance and software component inventory. Can you speak a bit about that challenge and how you are looking to solve it?

- A term thrown around a lot is "Dependency Hell" - which is the term developers use when it comes to managing their often large dependency footprints when it comes to updates, patches, versioning and so on. How are you seeing this problem addressed?

- There's a lot of hype around SBOM's and VEX. What are your thoughts on SBOM's and how they fit into the conversation around securing the software supply chain?

- One issue with the increased transparency is development teams drowning in hundreds or thousands vulnerabilities. As you know, this doesn't actually mean they are exploitable. How do we cut through that noise to drive down risk but also frustration?

- We talk a lot about CVE's and Vulnerabilities and so on but I know you recently shared research from Chinmayi Sharma who I've interviewed - and she points out CVE's are just one potential risk of OSS dependencies. Any thoughts on leading indicators of risk, as they're often called?

- Moving forward, what are some things you are focusing on at ENDoR Labs and where do we see us heading as an industry on this topic, in say 2-3 years?
