## Background
The initiative was one of the outcomes of the October 2023 Linux Foundation Member Summit. Making open source software more secure is one of the top priorities across the Linux Foundation. OpenSSF is leading the charge.

In the United States, open source software is used across all critical infrastructure sectors defined by CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), for example, health care, defense, financial services, utilities, telecommunications, etc. Open source security directly impacts national security, economics and social stability. Enhancing open source security is imperative. NIST has published a [Secure Softeare Development Framework](https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/ssdf) (SSDF) as a result of Executive Order (EO) 14028 on "[Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/05/17/2021-10460/improving-the-nations-cybersecurity)".

In the European Union, [Cyber Resiliency Act](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CONSIL:ST_17000_2023_INIT) (CRA) has declared a new role - Open Source Steward(Article 3(18a). The legislation is to ensure that consumers of products with digital features are protected, and manufacturers of these products are held accountable for product security. Open source security is the foundation for manufacturers to be compliant with the legislation.
