The Open-Source Software Prevalence Initiative, announced at DEF CON, will examine how open source software is used in critical infrastructure.

National Cyber Director Harry Coker announced the initiative at the DEF CON conference in Las Vegas. Funding for the project, which seeks to learn how open source software is used in critical infrastructure and with the ultimate goal of strengthening national cybersecurity, comes from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
