Banking and financial services organizations have unique challenges when it comes to open source software. They operate in a strict, highly regulated environment and handle huge volumes of highly sensitive data. Open source can speed innovation and development velocity, as well as deliver substantial cost savings — but in today’s threat landscape, how can companies in this space enjoy the benefits of OSS without exposing their customers to risk?

In this special industry-focused event, experts from Perforce Software will share how banks and Fintech organizations, from startups to large enterprises, can take advantage of all open source has to offer while meeting security and compliance requirements.
