In this week’s update: explore the operational launch of OSERA, enroll in a hands-on CDM training course for Java developers, and register for a webinar on frontier AI risk.
📢 OSERA is Operational: Global Banks Back Open Remediation Standards & Security Patches
Announced last week at Open Source Summit Europe in Prague, OSERA is live and delivering! Backed by Premier members including Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, NatWest, and RBC, the initiative addresses duplicated patching spend by establishing a single, bank-governed pipeline. In its first wave of delivery, OSERA released an open framework for remediation attestations alongside secure package updates across 50+ Spring and Java libraries commonly used by the industry.
🎓 [NEW] CDM: Training Course for Java Developers
Turn the FINOS Common Domain Model specification into working code. Linux Foundation Education and TradeHeader have launched a hands-on, one-day course connecting CDM, FpML, and Java. Developers gain hands-on experience building post-trade lifecycle projects, from ingesting FpML data to executing complex state transitions. The course is designed for Java developers, integration engineers, and technical business analysts working with post-trade lifecycles, regulatory reporting, or CDM.
💻 OS in Finance Webinar: How Frontier AI Changes Tolerable Risk - Chainguard | October 28 | Virtual
Frontier AI models can now surface dormant vulnerabilities and chain weaknesses across the software supply chain faster than traditional security processes can investigate and patch them. Join FINOS Gold Member Chainguard and their Field CISO, John Sapp, to explore how financial institutions can rethink open source governance as risks accelerate. This session will cover why vulnerability exploitation has overtaken phishing as a leading FinServ attack vector and how to build stronger software integrity into your lifecycle without disrupting business-critical systems.
