"As AI accelerates software development and vulnerability discovery, enterprises need a faster and more scalable approach to remediation. Lightwell represents a significant advancement in securing the open‑source software supply chain by bringing AI‑driven remediation and trusted software maintenance into the enterprise," said Chandan Pani, Chief Information Security Officer, LTM.
