Chandan Pani, Chief Information Security Officer at LTM, said securing open source foundations has become a shared responsibility as AI changes software development and cyber threats.
LTM has joined Athena, an industry coalition led by Chainguard, to support efforts aimed at securing open source software as AI driven vulnerabilities become a growing concern.
Athena brings together organisations from across the global software ecosystem to address risks linked to frontier AI models, which are increasingly able to identify vulnerabilities in open source software at high speed.
The coalition is focused on reducing the gap between vulnerability discovery and remediation through shared intelligence, coordinated action and pre disclosure fixes. Its work covers vulnerability management across discovery, analysis, patching, layered mitigations and upstream fixes.
LTM said its participation reflects its focus on cybersecurity, software supply chain resilience and wider industry collaboration to build trust in digital systems. As a global technology services partner to enterprise clients, the company will contribute engineering and delivery experience to Athena’s remediation efforts.
Chandan Pani, Chief Information Security Officer at LTM, said, “As AI reshapes both software development and the threat landscape, securing the open source foundations of the digital economy has become a shared responsibility. LTM is proud to join Athena and work alongside leading global organisations to advance a more secure, resilient, and trusted future for open source software.”
Naveen Sharma, Global Vice President, Partnerships at Chainguard, said, “Athena is built on the belief that you can’t solve an ecosystem-wide problem with a single company. The open source ecosystem needs partners who can operate at global scale and act with speed and LTM brings both. Their participation in Athena strengthens our collective ability to stay ahead of AI-driven threats and ensures that remediation reaches the critical infrastructure, enterprises, and communities that depend on open source every day.”
Through Athena, vulnerabilities identified by member organisations are expected to be remediated and pushed upstream, allowing the broader open source ecosystem to benefit from the fixes.
LTM is a Larsen and Toubro Group company and an AI centric global technology services company. It works with enterprise clients across integrated operations, transformation and business AI, with more than 87,000 employees across 40 countries.
