ソフトウェアは、私たちの身の回りにある、あらゆるものに力を与えています。私たちが作るもの、服用する薬、そして摂取する食べ物ですら、その背後にはソフトウェアが存在しています。これから起こる飛躍的な進歩のすべてが、ソフトウェアの力を借りて成し遂げられることでしょう。ソフトウェアが使用されいないものを見つけることは、これからますます難しくなっています。 ソフトウェアが世界に力を与える存在であるならば、オープンソースはその鼓動を打つ心臓です。現在、すべてのソフトウェアプロジェクトの99%でオープンソースが使用されています。これは、本当に驚くべきことであり、非常に多くのオープンソースが無償で提供されているという取り組みの証です。オープンソースに貢献している人は皆、私たちすべての前進に一役を担っていることを誇りに思うべきです。 こうした成功には責任が伴います。オープンソースは、世界中の人々が信頼できる

モバイルアプリケーションから大規模な金融機関のインフラストラクチャーまで、ソフトウェアの構築方法は急速に進化しており、セキュリティは開発者が最初から考慮するものとなりました。開発のペースが速まると、セキュリティ侵害のリスクが大きくなります。セキュリティに気を使っている大企業でさえ、公開されているソースコードにパスワードを残したり、お客様の個人データを漏洩したり、明らかに脆弱性があるのに重要なアプリケーションを本稼働させたり、といったことは珍しくありません。多くの企業が新しいソフトウェアをいち早くリリースしようと懸命になり、ソフトウェアの安全性を保つことに苦労しています。 このように、企業におけるソフトウェア開発は迅速な作業とセキュアな構築の両立が課題になっています。新しい開発手法はコードをより早く市場に投入できますが、不適切なツールやプロセスを使うと、セキュリティが不十分になりかねません。

私たちはお互いに深くつながり合ったコミュニティの一員であり、私たちが開発するソフトウェアは他のメンバーの作業に基づいて開発されています。新規のソフトウェアプロジェクトの99%にオープンソースコードが使用されており、膨大な量のコードの再利用によって、かつて無いほどスピーディーにソフトウェアを開発できるようになっています。一方で、このような依存関係があるため、脆弱なソフトウェアが配布されてしまうと、私たち全員がリスクにさらされます。すべての開発者が、セキュリティに配慮する開発者になるという重要性が、これまで以上に高まっています。すなわち、誰もが脆弱性情報を開示し、パッチ処理を迅速に行う責任を負っています。 GitHubは、開発者が容易にソースコードの安全性を向上できるを新たなセキュリティ機能を発表しました。 WhiteSourceのデータによるセキュリティ脆弱性アラート：GitHubは2017
