Europe’s cyber security strategy must be clear about open source

/in


Europe’s cyber security policy has an open source problem. Compared to the US, the UK and Europe have been playing catch-up on national security strategy for resiliency of open source software supply chains against malicious actors. Open source powers our critical software infrastructure, and can be used as a threat against it – Microsoft recently found vulnerable open source components being exploited to hack energy grids in India. In 2021, the Log4shell vulnerability – the largest spread security vulnerability in recent history – laid bare the risks of unmanaged software supply chains.

Because this is a global concern, governments are acting. Last year, the UK government issued a Proposal for Legislation to ‘Improve the UK’s Cyber Resilience,’ highlighting the immense impact even small security risks in the supply chain can have. Meanwhile, Germany issued the Information Security Act 2.0 (IT-SiG), and more recently, the European Union (EU) has proposed its Cyber Resilience Act (we’ll come back to that).

To put into perspective why this is a big deal, open source comprises between 80% and 90% of code in all modern applications. At least a quarter of identified hacks originating from the application layer can be attributed to a vulnerability in an open source component used to build it. Unfortunately, many commercial consumers of open source are not managing their software supply chain in any centralised fashion. Of the open source components being downloaded that are known to be vulnerable, 96% of the time, there’s been a better, non-vulnerable version available. 

Even Log4j, the component that made applications vulnerable to Log4shell, was subject to similar behaviour. The average consumption of the vulnerable versions of Log4j stood at 38% for all of 2022. That means 38% of the time, someone is downloading and building into their software a version containing the most widely publicised and exploited vulnerability we’ve ever seen.

The problem stems from lack of incentive for corporations to act. Open source is a powerful tool that enables our modern economy, but not managing it leaves software development teams open to  technical debt and bad security risk.

Here’s how to reserve your spot in the airport security line with Clear

/in


Ah, the dreaded airport security line — a place where dreams of early gate arrival are crushed and flights are missed. Even though you may have packed your bag like a pro, checked in early, and downloaded your boarding pass, the security line can still trash your savvy travel prep like that bottle of water you accidentally left in your bag. But there’s a way to avoid the hurt, hack the system, and breeze through like a VIP.

Yes, there are apps for checking wait times so you can budget your time appropriately, including an official one from the Transportation Security Administration. But true travel pros know that the best way to expedite the airport security process is to reserve your spot in line.

And it’s free. Here’s how it works.

How to reserve your spot in the security line

Clear, a travel tech company that uses biometric ID verification to expedite the security process, has a tool called Reserve. Get started by going to https://www.clearme.com/reserve on your computer or mobile and select the airport you’re flying from. How far in advance you can reserve a spot depends on the airport, which can be found on the airport’s website.

Reserve powered by Clear is available in 15 airports in North America and Europe: Calgary, Charleston, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Newark, Orlando, Phoenix, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Munich. These cover many of the major travel hubs, but Reserve is planning to roll out in more cities, so don’t worry if none of these are close to you. That will eventually change.

Fill out your flight info

Click on the airport you’re departing from, and you’ll then be directed to a new page where you’ll need to fill out your flight info, including the date of departure, destination, airline, and flight number.

Next, select the number of people you’ll be traveling with — up to 10 people.

Then, choose from a list of 15-minute time slots for your reservation. Note: Reserve will hold your spot for 15 minutes before or after your reservation time, so you have some wiggle room if you show up early or you’re running late.
