Linux Foundation launches Akrites, a coordinated open-source security body backed by Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft
The Linux Foundation has launched Akrites, a coordinated security body founded by Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and 19 other organizations to address vulnerabilities in critical open-source software. As frontier AI models become capable of scanning major open-source projects and surfacing multiple vulnerabilities in a single pass — tools accessible to both defenders and attackers — Akrites aims to coordinate vulnerability discovery, remediation, and disclosure to stay ahead of malicious actors.
Key quotes
The arrival of frontier AI models capable of scanning major open-source projects and surfacing multiple vulnerabilities in a single pass has handed defenders an extraordinary tool — but one that attackers can access, too.
Now, some of the biggest names in tech and industry are betting that the only way to stay ahead is to work together.
The result is Akrites, launched on Thursday by the Linux Foundation, which serves as a coordinated body to handle vulnerability discovery, remediation, and disclosure for critical open-source software.
