Open-source Vulnerability Patch Management
Defend Your Software Against Code-Level Threats
Patch Vulnerabilities Before They Attack
Code-level vulnerabilities pose a serious threat in the dynamic and interconnected world of cloud-native environments. Ortelius delivers robust defense with end-to-end monitoring, detailed reporting, and rapid elimination of emerging vulnerabilities across your entire attack surface—from development to production. With Ortelius, you can swiftly patch vulnerabilities as they arise, reducing the risk of costly delays, data breaches, and operational disruptions.
The fragmented nature of decoupled cloud-native architectures often hampers IT teams’ ability to respond effectively to threats. According to Sonatype’s 2024 Report, open-source package vulnerabilities have surged by 156%, surpassing 512,000, with 80% remaining unaddressed for over a year. Ortelius eliminates guesswork by pinpointing exactly where affected open-source packages are deployed across the infrastructure, enabling proactive and continuous package remediation.
With Ortelius, you can confidently answer the critical question, “Where is Log4J running?” and stay one step ahead of evolving threats.
The Ortelius Community, managed by the Continuous Delivery Foundation, maintains the latest version, with corporate support from DeployHub a Continuous Vulnerability Management platform designed to expedite remediation patches for the Enterprise.

SecureChainCon, May 16, 2025
Level Up Your Security Skills
Welcome to SecureChainCon, the premier online micro-conference for DevOps and Security professionals, proudly hosted by the Ortelius open-source community! Get ready for a half-day of engaging sessions and invaluable learning designed to keep you ahead in the fast-paced world of software security and DevOps automation. Our lineup of expert speakers from top organizations will share their insights, best practices, and real-world case studies on seamlessly integrating security into DevOps workflows.
KeyNotes:
- Tracy Bannon, Mitre “#NoHobbyists – What’s Really Needed to Shift CyberSecurity?”
Cybersecurity in software development is often treated as an afterthought, left to developers who must self-educate and experiment in their spare time. The #NoHobbyists movement challenges this status quo, advocating for a fundamental shift where cybersecurity is not a side project but a core discipline, fully integrated throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). This presentation outlines a holistic approach to embedding security across people, process, technology, and culture. Instead of merely shifting security “left” in the SDLC, the proposal argues for shifting security everywhere, making it an inherent responsibility for all stakeholders, from developers to executives. Key strategies include the adoption of the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF), threat modeling as a collaborative practice, and leveraging industry best practices such as OWASP, NIST SP 800-218, and secure coding standards.
- John Willis, Botchagalupe “AI-Powered Code Parsing and Semantic Analysis for DevOps Pipelines”
As software development ecosystems grow increasingly complex, the need for intelligent DevOps automation in script analysis and dependency management becomes critical. Join Jon Willis as he explores cutting-edge tools and techniques that leverage AI-driven code parsing and semantic analysis to enhance DevOps workflows. He will discuss the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-4, CodeBERT, and OpenAI Codex in parsing infrastructure and automation scripts, including Jenkinsfile, Dockerfile, Makefile, GitHub Actions, and Terraform. These models facilitate the identification of dependency installations (e.g., apt-get install, pip install, npm install) and pinpoint update points within scripts.

Our Inspiration
Abraham Ortelius
Abraham Ortelius made his name by collecting data from scientists, geographers, and cartographers of his time and transforming it into what the world now knows as a world Atlas. His Atlas, titled Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World), was published on May 20, 1570. His Atlas disrupted the way the world was seen, with the first concepts imagining continental drift. Also of interest are the sea monsters shown in the water – mythical creatures that were a subject of fascination in Ortelius’ generation.
A Thought Leader in Sharing
Ortelius also in some ways created on open source community of his day. To accomplish his goal, he was the first cartographers to give credit to his fellow scientists by adding their names to the Atlas. Ortelius was known to have corresponded with other professionals throughout Europe and pulled together their knowledge to create his publication and a truly global view of the world.
Thank you Abraham Ortelius for showing us the way.
