Open Source is pervasive and has come to dominate the embedded market, as well as laptops, servers and clouds. The embedded space however includes products like automobiles, medical devices, planes, etc.  where safety is a consideration.   Over the last decade, there have been multiple attempts to figure out paths to certify open source components, with limited success.   The problem isn't going away though, and in some cases becoming even more urgent as we look towards having to support products for extended periods of time under the emerging regulations (like the CRA). This talk will summarize some of the past attempts at certifying open source projects and then focus on the approaches that some projects are currently taking and starting to make progress with Security Certification authorities.

Join us as we bring together renowned experts in cybersecurity regulations, supply chain challenges and confidential computing technologies to navigate the dynamic interplay of these critical domains. Evolving digital landscapes and escalating threats impose increasing pressures on organizations and individuals to adhere to shifting regulatory requirements while strengthening data and infrastructure security. This insightful session will dive into interoperability challenges to provide insights into trends, emerging issues and future opportunities.

Our experts will explore:

• The current and emerging landscape of cybersecurity regulations and their impact on technology development and deployment.
• The role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) in enhancing transparency, vulnerability management and supply chain security.
• The potential of confidential computing to protect sensitive data in use and its implications for regulatory compliance.
• The significant interoperability hurdles in integrating these technologies and the need for industry collaboration to overcome them.

This interactive discussion will equip attendees with practical insights to navigate today's complex cybersecurity landscape. Developers, security professionals, decision-makers and anyone interested in the future of secure and interoperable computing are encouraged to attend. You'll gain a deeper understanding of how these critical areas intersect and learn how to navigate the intricacies of our modern cybersecurity environment.
