The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act requested the open source community to define common specifications for secure software development to address incidents like the recent XZ backdoor event, prompting the Eclipse Foundation and other organizations to work together towards this goal.
The collaboration, led by the Eclipse Foundation, aims to establish a unified framework for secure software development through a new working group under the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process, emphasizing the critical need for safety, reliability, and security in modern open source software.
Arpit Joshipura from the Linux Foundation highlighted the shared objective among open source communities to secure software, emphasizing the significance of ensuring security in open source software for the benefit of modern society.
