In an era where AI-driven threats compress vulnerability discovery and exploit development down from weeks to hours and where exploits are weaponized by the very technology we aim to deploy, organizations can no longer rely on slow, manual patch-to-production pipelines. An AI-ready enterprise is only as resilient as its weakest architectural layer. Modern enterprise security requires a layered security strategy that ensures that a failure in one layer does not lead to a systemic breach.
Throughout this series, we will unpack how Red Hat can help customers implement a layered security defense, from the operating system (OS) foundation to autonomous AI agents, ensuring enterprise resilience in the age of AI and emerging threats.
We will introduce Lightwell, our groundbreaking managed security subscription, which delivers signed, certified eligible open source dependencies at scale. Attendees will explore how Lightwell targets the critical application-dependency layer to safely backport fixes without disruptive upgrades, discover how it integrates smoothly into a broader defense-in-depth architecture, and learn how Red Hat Services provides the operational mentorship, automation, and continuous resilience required to protect open-source supply chains at scale.

Open source software is essential to modern application development, but vulnerable dependencies can create difficult choices for security, engineering, and platform teams. When a straightforward upgrade is not possible, organizations may be forced to maintain private patches, delay remediation, or devote significant engineering effort to backporting and validating fixes.
In this webinar, we will explain what Lightwell is, the problem it addresses, and how it fits into the software development lifecycle. Attendees will learn how Lightwell helps organizations access remediated open source packages for eligible dependencies while maintaining the versions their applications rely on.
We will also walk through the Lightwell operating model, including how packages are identified, remediated, validated, signed, and delivered for use within existing customer environments. The session will clarify what Lightwell provides, what responsibilities remain with the customer, and how security, platform engineering, and application teams can work together to evaluate whether Lightwell is appropriate for their environment.
This webinar is for security, application development, platform engineering, and infrastructure leaders who want a clearer understanding of Lightwell and its role in reducing the operational burden associated with vulnerable open source dependencies.
Key takeaways:
- Why vulnerable open source dependencies can be difficult to remediate without disrupting production applications
- What Lightwell is and the use cases it is designed to address
- How the Lightwell package remediation, validation, signing, and delivery process works
- How Lightwell fits into existing security, development, and release workflows
- What customers should consider when evaluating package eligibility, coverage, and organizational fit

Why are we still applying 1990s patching mentalities to an AI threat landscape? How do you build layered defense for the AI-driven enterprise? In an era where exploits are weaponized by the very technology we aim to deploy, an "AI-Ready" enterprise is only as resilient as its weakest architectural layer. Modern enterprise security requires a layered security strategy that ensures that a failure in one layer does not lead to a systemic breach.
In this session, we explore how to move beyond the noise of vulnerability counting toward a layered, pragmatic layered security defense architecture, from the OS foundation to autonomous AI agents, ensuring enterprise resilience in the age of AI and emerging threats.
Specifically, we will discuss how Red Hat helps you:
Build a strong security foundation: Securing open source software in the age of AI threats & securing the underlying Linux OS and container platforms to ensure a trusted environment for AI workloads.
Protect the pipeline: Integrating automated security safeguards throughout the software and AI lifecycle—from upstream open source to production including how Lightwell and other Red Hat technologies can help.
Secure the Intelligence: Implementing security, safety, and governance for agentic AI
Automate security at scale by default: Defending against machine-speed attacks with machine-speed automated response
By delivering a layered cross-portfolio security architecture that is trustworthy by design, Red Hat weaves resilience into the very fabric of your infrastructure, application, and AI, ensuring your AI journey is built on a foundation of "default-on" security.
Key takeaways:
- Why “defensive perimeter” security and 1990s patching mentalities no longer in the age of AI and emerging threats
- Why modern enterprises requires a layered security strategy in an AI-era
- How Red Hat can help implement a layered security defense, from the OS foundation to autonomous AI agents, ensuring enterprise resilience in the age of AI and emerging threats

Webinar 3: Navigating the AI threat era: Securing your open source supply chain with Red Hat Services
Navigating the AI threat era: Securing your open source supply chain with Red Hat Services
October 7, 10:00am ET
The new era of AI-driven threats has fundamentally transformed the cybersecurity landscape. AI is accelerating innovation and developer productivity, but it is also changing the speed and scale of cyber risk. At the same time, regulatory requirements are also expanding beyond traditional infrastructure security. Organizations are now mandated to detect, report, and remediate cyber incidents faster than ever before.
Having access to a security patch or a trusted component is no longer enough; organizations must be able to move them through development and deployment processes quickly, consistently, and securely. Do your teams have the skills and capacity to respond quickly? Can your platforms and delivery pipelines rebuild, validate, and deploy applications in hours rather than weeks?
Join this webinar to learn how to transition from reactive patching to continuous platform resilience. We will explore practical strategies to break down internal silos, automate delivery pipelines, and establish a security-focused, repeatable foundation across your people, processes, and technology.
Key takeaways:
- Explore the relationship between functionality, velocity and security across your platform, applications and software supply chain
- Understand how to accelerate your teams’ deployment velocity while maintaining functionality and security
- Discover how to accelerate your security investments using hands-on mentorship and proven practices
- Learn how Red Hat Services helps organizations operationalize their security posture at scale
