The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII), a project managed by The Linux Foundation for identification and funding of critical open source projects, has announced financial support of nearly $500,000 for three new projects to better support critical security elements of today’s global information infrastructure.
CII’s funds will support a new open source automated testing project; the Reproducible Builds initiative from Debian; and IT security researcher Hanno Böck’s Fuzzing Project. The multi-million dollar project is organized by The Linux Foundation and supported by Amazon Web Services, Adobe, Bloomberg, Cisco, Dell, Facebook, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, HP, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NetApp, NEC, Qualcomm, RackSpace, salesforce.com, and VMware.
