Lightwell

Project Lightwell is being presented as a security initiative for enterprises that rely on open-source software, addressing emerging threats across modern software supply chains. BizTech Magazine reports on how the project intends to protect organizations building on open-source components, a growing concern as open-source adoption expands and vulnerabilities in widely used libraries continue to put businesses at risk.

IBM and Red Hat have jointly launched Lightwell, a new initiative aimed at identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in open source software. The announcement was reported by technology trade outlets in the UK. Details on how the programme will operate and which projects it will prioritise were not included in the initial coverage, but the move underscores the companies' ongoing investment in open source security.
