The rise and increased prevalence of software supply chain attacks, the strengthened security requirements of compliance frameworks, and the speed and complexity of automated software development and build processes have all driven the need for open source standardization, often called Golden Image or Base Image programs.

But while DevOps and security teams recognize how critical open source standardization is, few feel comfortable tackling a large and fragmented challenge like open source software delivery, especially across diverse and disparate developer needs.

Join Chainguard’s Natalie Somersall to learn about best practices and common pitfalls that you

Audience members will walk away with a clear understanding of the right change management milestones to keep in mind, the critical implementation criteria, and the most compelling use cases to make developers more productive and deliver secure open source software from the
start.
