We have become highly effective at finding vulnerabilities, accelerated by AI-driven analysis. We can scan at scale, assign scores, and generate reports with unprecedented speed. The breakdown happens after discovery.

For many maintainers, security reports arrive as noise: limited context, unclear expectations, and little support to carry fixes through to completion. Backlogs grow, trust declines, and critical issues remain unresolved.

This panel brings together security and open source leaders from Microsoft, Google and AWS to confront an uncomfortable reality: discovery is the easy part. Remediation, especially in shared infrastructure maintained by a small number of overextended contributors, is where the system fails.

We will explore what actually helps maintainers move from report to resolution. What makes a report actionable? How do we reduce noise and avoid drive-by reporting? How do we support fixes through triage, patching, and downstream adoption without taking over projects?

If you are a struggling maintainer or an industry consumer who wants to support OSS you depend on without overloading it, this session is for you. The focus is simple: fixes that land.
