Erlang and Elixir are programming languages that run on the BEAM virtual machine — a VM that has been battle-tested for 40 years and is used by companies such as WhatsApp, Ericsson, Klarna, Kivra, and Telia. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the ecosystem rests on a solid foundation that organizations can rely on.
How, then, can companies place their trust in these open-source projects? And are they ready for the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act?
In this talk, we will show how Erlang/OTP and the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation (EEF) collaborate to foster public trust in the ecosystem. We will outline the security- and compliance-focused best practices they follow, explain how they report and analyze vulnerabilities, and describe their process for issuing VEX statements.
