"GitHub Initiative Seeks to Secure Open Source Code"

GitHub recently announced the launch of a new Security Lab. The purpose of the GitHub Security Lab is to improve upon the security of open source software. The new Security Lab will improve the coordination of efforts among researchers, developers, code maintainers, and organizations to address security vulnerabilities contained by open source software. The Security Lab has a dedicated team of security researchers that will work with peers from other organizations to detect security vulnerabilities in open source projects and report the bugs. In addition, developers and maintainers will collaborate in the development of patches for the disclosed flaws. This article continues to discuss the new Security Lab launched by GitHub and how this initiative will improve the security of open source software, along with the growing concern surrounding the vulnerabilities in such software.
