About a year ago<\/a>, Google announced its Assured Open Source Software (Assured OSS) service, a service that helps developers defend against supply chain security attacks by regularly scanning and analyzing for vulnerabilities some of the world\u2019s most popular software libraries. Today, Google is launching Assured OSS into general availability with support for well over a thousand Java and Python packages \u2014 and while Google didn\u2019t initially disclose pricing when it first announced the service, the company has now revealed that it will be available for free.<\/p>\n

Software development has long depended on third-party libraries (which are often maintained by only a single developer), but it wasn\u2019t until the industry got hit with a number of high-profile exploits that everyone (including the White House) perked up and started taking software supply chain security seriously. Now, you can\u2019t attend an open source conference without hearing about Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), artifact registries and similar topics. It\u2019s no surprise then that Google, which has long been at the forefront of releasing open-source products, launched a service like Assured OSS.<\/p>\n

Google promises that it will constantly keep these libraries up to date (without creating forks) and continuously scan for known vulnerabilities, do fuzz tests to discover new ones and then fix these issues and contribute these fixes back upstream. The company notes that when it first launched the service with around 250 Java libraries, it was responsible for discovering 48% of the new CVEs for these libraries and subsequently addressing them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs organizations increasingly utilize OSS for faster development cycles, they need trusted sources<\/span> of secure open<\/span> source<\/span> packages,\u201d said Melinda Marks, senior analyst, ESG. \u201cWithout proper vetting and verification or metadata to help track OSS access and usage, organizations risk exposure to potential security vulnerabilities and other risks in their software supply chain. By partnering with a trusted supplier, organizations can mitigate these risks and ensure the integrity of their software supply chain to better protect their business applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Developers and organizations that want to use the new service can sign up here<\/a> and then integrate Assured OSS into their existing development pipeline.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
