AI is changing cybersecurity and accelerating the discovery of software vulnerabilities. 🚀 Open source software quietly powers many of the systems we rely on every day — from banks and payment systems to transportation. As the security stakes around that shared digital foundation rise, IBM and Red Hat launched Lightwell, a $5 billion initiative backed by 20,000 engineers focused on helping secure the open source software the world depends on.
In this episode of Smart Talks with IBM, Malcolm Gladwell speaks with RSAC CEO Jen Easterly, Wells Fargo Chief Information Security Officer Munish Kumar Sharma, and Red Hat’s Gunnar Hellekson about AI-driven vulnerability discovery, open source risk, cyber resilience, and what it will take to secure the shared infrastructure underpinning modern life.
