What are open source dependencies?

Open source powers the world’s software, and securing it at scale comes with real challenges. In this video, we explain dependencies, transitive dependencies, and why software supply chain security has become a critical priority for organizations. Learn how indirect dependencies can increase risk, why vulnerability scanning alone isn’t enough, and how malicious packages can compromise your software supply chain. We also explore the role that operating system–level security plays in protecting open source software. Finally, we share how Ubuntu Pro supports open source with trusted sources, automated security updates, and long-term maintenance for thousands of packages.
