## AI overview

The article explains how organizations can build a business case for a secure open source supply chain. It describes a shift from framing open source security solely around CVEs, scanner results, and patching toward presenting trusted open source as a driver of productivity, resilience, and delivery speed. It also explains why traditional vulnerability management struggles with continuous delivery, distributed systems, frequently rebuilt container images, changing dependencies, and global cloud infrastructure.
