PALO ALTO, CA, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TuxCare, a global innovator in securing open source, today announced that Chris DeMars, Senior Developer Advocate, is slated to speak at Black Hat Europe 2025, one of the world’s leading cybersecurity conferences that takes place December 8-11 at the Excel London in London, UK.
At 3:45 p.m. (UTC) on Wednesday, December 10, in Business Hall Theater B, Chris will present a talk titled “The node_modules Iceberg: Mysteries Below the Waterline.”
In the session, DeMars will explore the overlooked layers of transitive dependencies hidden within node_modules – components that developers depend on daily but seldom have time to inspect. He will also outline how to list transitive dependencies and identify security risks they may pose.
Attendees will also learn how to integrate TuxCare’s Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) to help mitigate associated risks by ensuring vulnerable or end-of-life open-source components receive much-needed, ongoing security updates.
