We all depend on open source. Together, we will defend it. Open source software powers many aspects of the digital world – from telecommunications to healthcare and banking. But it’s under increasing threat. With AI, vulnerabilities that once took experts weeks to uncover can now be found in minutes. That’s why Vodafone together with The Linux Foundation and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Anthropic, Chainguard, Cisco, Citi, Endor Labs, Ericsson, Google, IBM, JPMorganChase, Microsoft and GitHub, NVIDIA, OpenAI, RAPIDFORT, Red Hat, Rust Foundation, Sonatype and Zscaler have launched Akrites. This coordinated effort will remediate and disclose vulnerabilities in critical open source software. As a founding member, Vodafone is contributing expertise and funding to strengthen the software ecosystems that millions of people and organisations depend on every day.
