Open Source SSF Community Day

The W3C SWAG community group (which is linked with the OpenSSF Best Practices working group) recently ran a survey of web developers to see what web security features and technologies web developers are using and how they're using them. This talk will be a brief introduction to SWAG, an overview of the surprising results, and what it means for the work ahead. I will also touch on the topic of how web developers and web browser developers are responding to the requirements of the CRA.
