In the era of modern computing, the phenomenon of app stores is becoming common place. A growing number of companies are creating entire ecosystems for vendors proving extensibility and customization of their core product. While third party apps provide additional features that customers value, they also come with an increased security risk.
Atlassian is a good example of a thriving Marketplace ecosystem
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/. As such, we are responsible to provide a secure platform and also make sure that the marketplace apps are properly screened and scanned for security vulnerabilities. In this talk, we will go over some of the practices we have established at Atlassian to ensure that our customers can trust our Ecosystem.
We will cover some of the security policies that we enforce on third party apps, how we perform vendor and application security reviews, metrics obtained from running our bug bounty program on third party apps and the lessons learnt.
