Linux Foundation Allocates $12.5M For Open Source Security
8.2
The Linux Foundation announced $12.5 million in grants to strengthen open source software security, managed by Alpha-Omega and the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and backed by Anthropic, AWS, Google, DeepMind, GitHub, Microsoft and OpenAI. The funding aims to help maintainers triage and process a surge of AI-generated security reports that projects cannot handle at scale, illustrated by cURL’s HackerOne shutdown by January 2026.
Key Points
- 1Allocates $12.5M in grants managed by Alpha-Omega and OpenSSF for practical security tooling
