The initiative combines several key capabilities:\n\n * Open source engineering expertise from Red Hat and IBM;\n * Red Hat’s deep open source community relationships;\n * Advanced AI-assisted engineering workflows; and\n * Red Hat’s secure software supply chain capabilities and build\ninfrastructure.\nThis powerful engine rapidly develops version-specific fixes for open source\napplication dependencies in production systems. The remediations are delivered\nthrough secured repositories that connect with customers’ existing IT\nprocesses. This allows organizations to address difficult or previously\nunknown vulnerabilities without replacing their current security scanners,\nsoftware repositories, development pipelines or testing processes.\n\nThrough Lightwell Network, IT teams can access verified patches, bring\nremediated software into their existing workflows and establish an ongoing\nprocess for addressing vulnerabilities. With the general availability of\nLightwell Clearinghouse, customers can submit specific open source\nvulnerabilities to IBM and Red Hat for priority review, remediation and fixes\nthat can be applied to older software versions still in use.\n\nIn alignment with Red Hat's open source leadership, applicable fixes developed\nthrough Lightwell are contributed back to upstream open source projects under\nresponsible disclosure protocols. This helps the broader open source ecosystem\nbenefit from Lightwell's scale while maintaining embargo protections for\nClearinghouse participants.\n\nSupporting Quotes\n\nGunnar Hellekson, vice president and general manager, Lightwell, Red Hat\n\n\"AI agents shifted the threat landscape overnight, exploiting old dependencies\nat machine speed. They do not care if a codebase is ten years old or otherwise\nconsidered stable, because one small crack is all it takes to chain an attack\ntogether. Finding those bugs is only half the battle: the real work is\nbackporting fixes directly into active production apps so customers do not\nhave to pick between security and uptime. Finding and neutralizing 400+ novel\nvulnerabilities so quickly shows how fast Lightwell can move, and we are just\ngetting started.\"\n\nAdditional Resources\n\n * Learn more about \nLightwell\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redhat.com%2Fen%2Flightwell&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Lightwell&index=2&md5=5f0c95f5cfa4584876f45cc4c117f7ae)\n * Watch a webinar series on \nthe blueprint for scalable AI\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fred.ht%2Flightwellseries&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=the+blueprint+for+scalable+AI&index=3&md5=3c2e2da30cbffa9f58ba65cd0d95f3ef)\n * Sign up for the \nLightwell newsletter\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redhat.com%2Fen%2Flightwell%2Fnewsletter&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Lightwell+newsletter&index=4&md5=4882c13ab12f6029d14a9f05cff82c3a)\nConnect with Red Hat\n\n * Learn more about \nRed Hat\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redhat.com%2Fen%3Fsc_cid%3D7015Y0000048ZrvQAE&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat&index=5&md5=f98563bffb3e97dfc978c6ca6fd2a3f6)\n * Get more news in the \nRed Hat newsroom\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redhat.com%2Fen%2Fabout%2Fnewsroom%3Fsc_cid%3D7015Y0000048Zs0QAE&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat+newsroom&index=6&md5=ead0ef55e8e1c7f792912c7f3e4bfaf0)\n * Read the \nRed Hat blog\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redhat.com%2Fen%2Fblog%3Fsc_cid%3D7015Y0000048Zs5QAE&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat+blog&index=7&md5=33cc1c1fd34fefff93e3425f175d47dd)\n * Follow \nRed Hat on X\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fredhat&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat+on+X&index=8&md5=8f5bb3bad580a0c7890d80916df529ec)\n * Follow \nRed Hat on Instagram\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fred_hat%2F&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat+on+Instagram&index=9&md5=49637c174ee492d34c627dae025f0c54)\n * Watch \nRed Hat videos on YouTube\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FJEkzvc&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat+videos+on+YouTube&index=10&md5=0fe52a0fe0cb206fb7165ef685099317)\n * Follow \nRed Hat on LinkedIn\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fred-hat&esheet=54616788&newsitemid=20261006487646&lan=en-US&anchor=Red+Hat+on+LinkedIn&index=11&md5=6d0bc9c18190133d7f9ae1b8aec64d9d)\nAbout IBM\n\nIBM is a leading provider of global hybrid cloud and AI, and consulting\nexpertise.
