In a video interview with eWEEK, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, explains how CII works and what can be done to improve open-source security.
Zemlin noted that in the case of OpenSSL, though it plays a critical role in Internet infrastructure, it was not receiving the level of support that is commensurate with the role it plays. There are other open-source efforts beyond just OpenSSL that could also benefit from increased financial support, he added.
