IBM and Red Hat launched Project Lightwell to secure the open-source ecosystem. The companies committed $5 billion to this initiative.
The project deploys a global force of over 20,000 engineers. These teams use artificial intelligence to identify and remediate software vulnerabilities at scale.
Project Lightwell operates as a clearinghouse for validated software patches. Enterprises integrate these patches into supply chains via commercial subscriptions. Several major financial institutions have already joined as early adopters.
