The OpenChain Project featured prominently at this event held in China via a talk (slides below) and participation in the end panel discussion on next steps in IPR around open hardware. This is part of our long-term commitment to supporting a trusted supply chain, and an awareness that the supply chain will inevitably consist of both hardware and software.

OpenChain @ RIOS Open-Source Hardware IP Licensing and Policy Workshop from Shane Coughlan

Xmirror Security, a Chinese DevSecOps company, has joined the OpenChain Partner Program.  With a founding team specialized in network security technologies from Peking University, Xmirror Security is uniquely positioned to help clients secure the software supply chain.

From now on, Xmirror Security will support ISO 5230, the international standard for Open Source license compliance, and construct a healthy Open Source ecosystem and a trusted software supply chain in collaboration with other global corporations like Google, Microsoft and Meta.

“The OpenChain Project has been a contributor to the Open Source security ecosystem for a significant numbers of years,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “We seek to ensure trust in the supply chain, and our new partnership with XMIRROR will help to accelerate this mission in the Chinese market. We look forward to supporting companies of all sizes seeking excellent around the use of Open Source.”

Initiated by Linux Foundation, OpenChain is a project aiming at setting and maintaining the international standard for Open Source license compliance, which offers companies a more efficient solution for the consistency of Open Source license compliance. Currently, hundreds of magnates from multiple fields have joined OpenChain, building trust in Open Source among software supply chain stakeholders.

“Xmirror Security is glad to be an OpenChain partner and construct a more trusted and efficient Open Source supply chain and ecosystem together with the whole community,” says Ziya, Founder & CEO, Xmirror Security. “OpenChain shares our view of the Open Source supply chain security risks and challenges faced by corporations during digital transformation. To ‘manage Open Source risks through an Open Source solution’, we provide professional technical support and community service for corporations and developers through our Open Source SCA tool, OpenSCA. In the future, we will be hand in glove with not only OpenChain but also more Open Source partners to build up a more open, inventive and energetic Open Source community based on China software supply chain security and empower more users from diverse industries.”

More Commentary from Xmirror

While Open Source is gaining popularity in software development, the risk of Open Source components vulnerabilities and license compliance is also noteworthy. Focuses on Integrated detection and defence of continuous threats in DevSecOps software supply chain with two engines of code-vaccine and active defence technologies, our self-developed 3rd generation DevSecOps AI-Adaptive Threat Management System mainly includes both integrated development and operation agile security products covering pivotal parts from threat modelling, Open Source management, threat revealing, threat simulation as well as detection and response, and software supply chain security service characterized by the actual attack and defence confrontation. Thousands of corporations have embraced our solution for an efficient software supply chain.

Moreover, depending on its leading ability to detect Open Source application vulnerabilities, OpenSCA has been recognized as one of the most Valuable Open Source Projects in Gitee.

We attach great importance to cooperating with other organizations relevant to Open Source and software supply chain. Apart from joining OpenChain, we’ve been selected as one of the first members of Trustworthy Open Source Compliance and Software Supply Chain Security Lab launched by CAICT. Being committed to the original aspiration and mission of defending software supply chain security, Xmirror Security will actively participate in the joint contribution to the Open Source Ecosystem.
