LTM Joins Athena, a Chainguard-led Industry Coalition to Help Secure Open Source Software in the AI Era24.6.2026 08:30:00 CEST | Press release
LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, has joined Athena, a new industry coalition led by Chainguard, focused on protecting open source software from the rising threat of AI-driven vulnerabilities.
