Red Hat Lightspeed data and application security

Red Hat® Lightspeed (formerly Red Hat Insights) is a Software-as-a-Service offering that gives users visibility into their operating environments, helping to identify and address operational and vulnerability risks before an issue results in downtime. To provide this service, small pieces of system metadata are sent to the Red Hat Lightspeed service for processing and analysis, during which time measures are taken to help reduce risk.

Only one uploaded data set is stored at a time
