Description:
IBM has sent out a
press release touting a claimed $5billion investment into an
operation called Project Lightwell: Project Lightwell will establish a
trusted enterprise clearinghouse
combined with a global force of engineers to identify and fix
vulnerabilities at scale. The clearinghouse will serve as a
security coordination layer, using advanced AI capabilities to
validate and test fixes across an unprecedented volume of open
source code. These capabilities will be offered through commercial
subscriptions, allowing enterprises to integrate secure patches
directly into their existing software supply chains with
enterprise-grade validation and lifecycle management. Toward the bottom, it does also mention sharing vulnerability information
with upstream projects.
