Solves open source intake challenges
WATERLOO, ON, April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX),
(TSX: OTEX), today announced an innovative solution to
long-standing open source intake challenges. Developers spend a
significant amount of time searching for open source libraries that
comply with their company intake policies. OpenText Debricked Open
Source Select is a unique start left solution to this age-old
problem. It guides developers in selecting the right open source
components—those that meet an organization's specific security,
compliance and community health intake requirements—before a single
line of code is written.
According to a 2024 Forrester Consulting study commissioned by
OpenText, 66 percent of organizations struggle to find open source
code that meets their organization's security policies. Open Source
Select is unique in that it removes the guesswork by automating the
management of open source discovery and intake based on a company's
specific policies.
Software composition analysis tools examine open source already
in use for risks and vulnerabilities. With its new automated intake
policy system, Open Source Select starts at the true
beginning—before open source libraries are selected and integrated
into development code branches—pre-empting potential issues. Open
Source Select's innovative policy overlay provides developers with
visibility into what they can use, saving developers valuable
time—sometimes weeks—by circumventing back-and-forth internal
approval processes.
"A major source of friction between developers, compliance teams
and security teams is developer selection of open source libraries.
With our latest innovation, we are making the discovery and intake
process much easier for all," said Muhi Majzoub, Chief Product
Officer and EVP at OpenText. "With Open Source Select, we are
filling an important gap in the DevOps lifecycle. In doing so we
are increasing developer and policy review teams' productivity and
improving security by eliminating workarounds."
Open Source Select is easy to deploy and requires no extra lift
beyond a simple browser extension install. The browser extension is
compatible with the free version; it can also complement any
existing software composition analysis tool already in use.
Developers currently using the free version can download Open
Source Select by visiting Debricked Select Extension.
