Every unpatched CVE is a bet that no one exploits it before you fix it. And for teams stuck on older versions of Java, the odds get worse every year you put off patching. (We’re talking 242 new CVEs published daily, up 80% from 2025 👀) If you're stuck on hard-to-upgrade Java versions, pulling a backported version keeps your application secure while you focus on shipping what’s next. Chainguard Libraries for Java now includes CVE remediation, letting you stay safe while you plan your next major upgrade👇 https://lnkd.in/gyww6tM2/?utm_campaign=li_amer_acq_thought-leadership_tof_corpmarketing&utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=paid&utm_id=1173027873&hsa_acc=512262371&hsa_cam=1173027873&hsa_grp=809924703&hsa_ad=1508097333&hsa_net=linkedin&hsa_ver=3/

"The companies and public services our communities depend on—from hospitals to water treatment plants to the infrastructure that powers the internet—are at risk." Defending critical infrastructure isn't something any one company can do alone. We’re glad to join OpenAI's call for collective action on cyber defense: https://lnkd.in/gFeKj4Q7

"Open Source had a great childhood. For two decades, it got to be a kid. It ran around barefoot, gave everything away, trusted strangers, and never once thought about who was watching. It ran the kind of lemonade stand that took IOUs from anyone who wandered up — take what you need, pay me back whenever, no need to leave a name. It was idyllic. It was also, in retrospect, a little feral." 🔮 Dan Lorenc's prediction: by 2030, regulated enterprises will run only on open source that's reachable, patched, and accountable, because they'll be complying with that standard. Read his take on open source's maturation 👇

Chainguard has a blog series called This Shit is Hard, about the unglamorous engineering behind software people can rely on. They asked Sara Kromwijk and me to write about ours: getting AI to prove where a number came from. The short version is that provenance has to survive every tool call, every agent handoff, every computation. If it breaks anywhere, you can't stand behind the number, even when the model got it right. This was a fun one to write, and even more fun to work on every day. Link in comments

How do you safely run code you didn't write and can't review? That's a problem we ran into when patching undisclosed vulnerabilities through Athena. Matt Moore shares what we learned from the coalition and why we had to build a sandbox: https://lnkd.in/dxaZJqMm
