Omkhar Arasaratnam, GM at OpenSSF, has joined the BIZDEVOPS Blog on DEVOPSdigest.

Arasaratnam is a veteran cybersecurity and technical risk management executive with more than 25 years of experience leading global organizations. He began his career as a strong supporter of open source software as a PPC64 maintainer for Gentoo and contributor to the Linux kernel, and that enthusiasm for OSS continues today. Before joining the OpenSSF, he led security organizations at financial and technology institutions such as Google, JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, TD Bank Group, and IBM. As a seasoned technology leader, Arasaratnam has revolutionized the effectiveness of secure software engineering, compliance, and cybersecurity controls. He is also an accomplished author and has led contributions to many international standards. Arasaratnam is also a NYU Cyber Fellow Advisory Council member, a guest lecturer for the Applied Cryptography course, and a Senior Fellow with the NYU Center for Cybersecurity.

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) seeks to make it easier to sustainably secure the development, maintenance, and consumption of the open source software (OSS) we all depend on. This includes fostering collaboration, establishing best practices, and developing innovative solutions.
