Summary
Dan Lorenc, CEO of Chainguard, warns of a "messy" summer for security teams as AI tools uncover countless previously hidden vulnerabilities in open source software. A new coalition called Athena, comprising about two dozen companies including Chainguard, BNY, and Cisco, has formed to use AI to find and fix open source bugs more efficiently. The initiative aims to make vulnerability remediation "as easy to consume as possible" for organizations relying on open source code.
