Athena's Coalition Expands with New Shield and Surface Partners
Published 28 September 2026
WHAT HAPPENED
Chainguard announced that its Athena coalition has expanded with 10 new partners: AHEAD, Apiiro, Cloudsmith, HCLTech, Manifest Cyber, OLIGO Security, Palo Alto Networks, ReversingLabs, Surf AI, and Sysdig.
WHO IS INVOLVED
Chainguard leads the coalition with two categories of partners. Shield partners including Palo Alto Networks and Sysdig convert vulnerability data into mitigations like firewall rules. Surface partners like Apiiro and ReversingLabs identify vulnerable software in customer stacks.
WHY IT MATTERS
The expanded coalition helps organizations close the gap between when security patches exist and when they are actually deployed. By combining vulnerability detection with actionable mitigation and remediation, the partners address a critical delay in security response workflows.
