COMING SOON: Webinar – The Future of Insurance for Open Source: Are You Really Covered? – 2025-04-22 @ 08:00 UTC

By 2025-03-13News

Open source and insurance has long been a topic of interest to commercial providers of products and solutions. This webinar will help unpack the reality of insurance considerations in this space. All welcome.

Abstract:

Open source software providers are facing a triple threat: tightening US and EU regulations, rising IP litigation, and the risks introduced by Gen AI. Soon, your board—and your customers and suppliers— might be asking that you have specific insurance that actually covers OSS-related liabilities. But, does such insurance exist? Does it work? And how should it work?

Historically, insurers have struggled to grasp OSS risks, offering inadequate or unclear coverage. Now, a new wave of insurance solutions is emerging, informed by OpenChain standards and best practices.

Join this session to explore how the insurance industry is evolving, what new OSS-specific coverage looks like, and how you can help shape it to meet the real needs of the open source community.
