Open source code, for example, has generated new threat vectors for attackers to exploit. A case in point is Log4Shell, which emerged in late 2021 and exposed open source libraries to exploitation. Software intelligence as code enables tailored observability, AIOps, and application security at scale – blog.

Open source software is likewise playing a larger role in cloud computing, which brings benefits and dilemmas: bad actors have ready access to open source software and can identify new vulnerabilities to exploit. This means that attackers may have already gained access to sensitive information or compromised the system.
