By
Bobby Borisov
Summary
The Linux Foundation, in collaboration with AWS, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft/GitHub, Red Hat, NVIDIA, and others, has launched Akrites — a new program aimed at improving the reporting, remediation, and disclosure of critical vulnerabilities in open-source software. The initiative comes as AI-assisted tools accelerate vulnerability discovery, leading to an influx of reports that are often duplicated, incomplete, or uncoordinated. Akrites seeks to streamline and coordinate the open-source security response process.
