Mitigating Open Source Risks in Autonomous Vehicles with RunSafe Security
Open source software plays a key role in the development and operation of autonomous vehicles, providing flexibility and cost savings. However, it also introduces risks, including vulnerabilities that can be exploited if not properly managed. In this video, Joseph M. Saunders, Founder & CEO of RunSafe Security, explains how the open source supply chain can expose autonomous platforms to memory-based attacks, outdated libraries, and delays in patches from open source communities.
Joe highlights critical steps for reducing these risks, such as generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to map out dependencies, identifying and addressing vulnerabilities across open source repositories, and incorporating security protections directly into the CI/CD pipeline. RunSafe Security provides a solution that eliminates memory-based vulnerabilities, enhancing the security posture of autonomous systems while allowing organizations to maintain the benefits of open source.
By taking a proactive approach to securing open source software, companies can safeguard their autonomous fleets, ensuring reliable and secure performance without sacrificing innovation or productivity.
