A guide to open source vulnerability management on Azure
Spend less time tracking dependencies while improving your security posture with a streamlined approach
Effective security and compliance on Microsoft Azure is vital due to the shared responsibility model - While Microsoft Azure manages the security of their cloud infrastructure, the responsibility for securing your OS, applications, and data falls to you. Canonical has developed a solution to simplify the management of open source vulnerabilities in the cloud.
This guide delves into the intricacies of open source vulnerability management, addressing the common challenges organisations face and offering best practices for enhancing cybersecurity.
As the use of open source software continues to grow and become integral to most technology stacks—even in the cloud—its transparency makes it easier to audit for security flaws. However, maintaining and securing open source software can be complex due to limited resources, skill shortages, and intricate software stacks with numerous dependencies.
