Open Source Software Security Management Certification
Get certified in managing open source risk across the software supply chain.
Free
In this free, self-paced certification, you’ll learn how open source software enters your software supply chain, how to assess and remediate vulnerabilities, and how to control what reaches your environment in the first place. Earn your certification by completing all 3 courses and showcase your skills with a shareable badge. Ideal for developers, security engineers, or anyone building a more secure open source practice inside their organization.
Learning Objective:
By the end of this certification, you’ll be able to identify and assess open source security risks, apply vulnerability detection and remediation strategies across the development lifecycle, and implement artifact management and curation controls that govern what open source reaches your environment.
Introduction to Open Source Software Security
Summary:
Open source powers 96% of modern applications, and most organizations are not managing it the way they manage other critical infrastructure. Learn how open source dependencies enter your software supply chain, why governance has not kept pace with adoption, and what categories of risk require active management.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Explain what open source software is and why organizations depend on it for critical infrastructure
- Describe how open source dependencies enter an organization’s software supply chain
- Identify the primary security risks associated with open source software dependencies
- Articulate the governance gap between open source adoption and organizational readiness
How to Manage Risks of Open Source Software
Summary:
Finding a vulnerability is just the beginning. This course teaches you how to use SCA tools and SBOMs to gain visibility into your dependencies, how to evaluate what actually warrants action, and how to choose between patching, upgrading, replacing, and mitigating in the real world.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Explain how vulnerability detection works across the software development lifecycle
- Use vulnerability databases and scoring systems to assess what actually warrants action
- Evaluate open source packages against security, maintenance, and adoption criteria
- Compare remediation strategies and understand the trade-offs between them
- Start improving your OSS risk practice without waiting for complete visibility
How to Create A Secure Open Source Environment
Summary:
Detecting vulnerabilities after they enter your codebase is necessary, but not a complete security effort. This course covers how artifact managers like JFrog Artifactory and Sonatype Nexus work, where their guarantees end, and what strategies close the remaining gap.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Explain the complete picture of OSS security governance, beyond scanning and CVE detection
- Implement policies that govern what open source reaches your environment
- Describe how artifact managers work and where their protections end
- Build a workflow for onboarding packages, responding to disclosures, and propagating fixes
