Chainguard has joined FINOS as a Gold Member to strengthen secure open-source adoption for AI-era financial services amid rising software supply-chain threats.
Chainguard has joined FINOS as a Gold Member to help accelerate secure, standardised, and scalable open-source innovation across the global financial services industry.
The move comes as AI-driven software development rapidly expands software supply-chain risks by increasing code generation, introducing more vulnerabilities into production environments, and enabling faster exploitation by threat actors. The companies said open-source software now underpins critical financial infrastructure, including trading systems, digital banking platforms, and AI infrastructure, making software supply-chain security central to operational resilience.
Chainguard will contribute expertise in software supply-chain security, governance, and secure open-source adoption while collaborating with the FINOS community on trusted software foundations, production-ready open-source projects, and industry standards for secure AI-native software development.
“Open source is the foundation of both modern software and AI-driven development,” said Dan Lorenc, CEO and Co-founder, Chainguard. “The future of software development will be AI-native, which requires it to be secure by default.”
Gabriele Columbro, Executive Director, FINOS, said AI, open source, and cloud-native infrastructure are fundamentally reshaping how the financial industry builds and operates software, adding that industry-wide collaboration is essential to address security and governance challenges at scale.
Chainguard said its engineers actively maintain and contribute to more than 100 open-source projects, including Kubernetes, Sigstore, SLSA, Tekton, and Knative.
