Cybersecurity professional Aeva Black has been appointed open source security lead at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Aeva brings to CISA over two decades of leadership experience and expertise in open source software within the private sector, Matt Hartman, deputy executive assistant director for cybersecurity at CISA, wrote in a blog post published Monday.

Some of the open source projects Aeva has spearheaded are OmniBOR, previously called GitBOM, and OpenStack Ironic “Bare Metal.”

The Open Source Initiative board member joins CISA as the agency introduces a new initiative aimed at engaging with open source community organizations to promote security by design and default principles to further build up the security posture of open source software.
