Open Source in Finance Forum London 2025

As financial institutions accelerate their digital transformation, the integration of third-party code has become a necessity—but also a hidden risk. The rise of AI-assisted development is increasing the prevalence of internal forks, where modified external code becomes unmanaged and invisible to traditional security and compliance processes. In a highly regulated industry like financial services, these forks pose significant challenges, including security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and technical debt that can impact operational resilience. This session will explore how AI is reshaping software integration, why financial firms must proactively address internal forks, and how modern Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools can provide much-needed visibility and control. Learn how to leverage AI-driven development while maintaining the highest standards of security, compliance, and risk management.
