With her in-depth knowledge of the EDI project's technical components, she plays an active role in its development and expansion. ProblemOrganisations struggle to objectively assess open-source software resilience. Vulnerabilities like Log4j and Heartbleed revealed systemic risks from overreliance on shared open-source libraries.Solution Cairnlytics provides risk assessment for open-source components in a quantitative and data-driven way. Unlike other tools, it uses specific and actionable metrics, like bus factor and time-to-patch, and it offers a non-intrusive solution, as it doesn't require access to sensitive internal codebases.ContactCairnlytics LinkedIn This article was published on 2025-10-27
