GitLab's mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers the world. That software must be secure.
Open source plays a crucial role in addressing security risk through transparency and community efforts. By having source code publicly available, a wider community from various different background can inspect, identify, and fix vulnerabilities in a timely manner.
Other open source practices help increase security, too. Things like:
Collaborative Verification
Security Auditing
Security tool Development
Contributions to security initiatives
Vulnerability Reporting and Resolution
Education and Best Practices
Using examples of these practices from GitLab and other open source projects, let's talk about how we can move open source security forward together.
