IBM and Red Hat have announced a $5 billion initiative called Project Lightwell to enhance the security of open-source software. This project will leverage AI and a global team of over 20,000 engineers to identify, validate, and fix vulnerabilities within open-source code. The aim is to create a trusted enterprise clearinghouse that will offer commercial subscriptions for integrating secure patches into software supply chains, with a commercial launch expected within 30 days.
