Announced in May, Project Lighthouse is IBM and Red Hat's $5 billion project to develop what IBM calls 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," IBM stated in May. "These capabilities will be offered through commercial subscriptions, allowing enterprises to integrate secure patches directly...
