Eclipse Foundation Leads Initiative for Open-Source Cybersecurity Standards
Prominent open-source organizations, including Apache Software Foundation, Blender Foundation, OpenSSL Software Foundation, PHP Foundation, Python Software Foundation, Rust Foundation, and Eclipse Foundation, have united to spearhead an initiative to craft common cybersecurity standards. This effort is in response to the forthcoming European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The foundation aims to harmonize secure software development practices across the open-source community by pooling resources and drawing on existing best practices to meet the CRA's requirements.
Hosted under the Eclipse Foundation's umbrella in Brussels, this collaborative project will produce specifications to guide the open-source software industry in enhancing security measures. This ambitious initiative not only seeks to align with impending regulations but also addresses the broader challenge of ensuring the reliability and safety of open-source software in an increasingly digital world.
As the initiative progresses, additional open-source entities, SMEs, industry players, and researchers are encouraged to join and contribute to this vital standardization effort. Read Eclipse Foundation's official blog for more information and updates on this collaborative endeavor.
