TuxCare’s Sven Sellen to speak at Devoxx Belgium

TuxCare said Director of Global Enterprise Sales Sven Sellen will present at Devoxx Belgium on Oct. 7 in Antwerp, with a talk focused on keeping open-source software secure at scale. The session comes as enterprises face mounting vulnerability and supply-chain risk across long-lived software stacks.

Why it matters: - Open-source software is central to enterprise infrastructure, but long-term security becomes harder as upstream support ends and vulnerabilities appear faster. - The talk is aimed at teams that need to keep systems patched, reduce audit burden and avoid diverting engineers from product work. - TuxCare is using the conference to position its security and support tools for organizations running open-source software in production.
