Red Hat expands cooperation with IBM and Palo Alto Networks to help companies tackle software vulnerabilities
Red Hat said on Thursday it is expanding cooperation with Palo Alto Networks and IBM to help companies detect vulnerabilities early and quickly apply protections across open-source software, commercial applications, operational technology and healthcare technology. The effort links Palo Alto Networks’ virtual patching with IBM-Red Hat Project Lightwell to combine network-level protection with software security patches. It aims to implement a dual-defense approach that carries out vulnerability response and security patching at the same time.
