Collab Summit 2016

Collaboration and peer production have demonstrated their enormous positive power in software development since Linus sent out his famous email in 1991, and even earlier. Now, a similar shift is happening in software security, and it needs to happen. Nearly every piece of software is connected to the external world and thereby vulnerable to malicious attack. The building blocks of the internet were not originally designed to be fully secure. To make them secure, we need a community approach. Hackers worldwide are uniting to help find the most elusive software vulnerabilities.
