New Initiative Tackles Security for End-of-Life Open Source Software

The Open Source Sustainability Initiative aims to help enterprises manage security and compliance for aging open source projects that have reached end of life. The initiative addresses the challenge of maintaining vulnerable legacy code while meeting regulatory requirements.

Why it matters: Development teams and security practitioners need strategies to inventory and patch end-of-life open source dependencies, which represent a significant attack surface if left unmaintained.
