On point: Three security players expand a joint project aimed at shortening the time from vulnerability discovery to remediation.
Red Hat, IBM and Palo Alto Networks are expanding Project Lightwell to close the gap between vulnerability discovery and effective remediation. The project aims to identify and fix undiscovered software vulnerabilities more quickly.
Red Hat, IBM and Palo Alto Networks are collaborating on the further development of Project Lightwell. The project addresses a classic timing problem in vulnerability management: the time gap between the identification of a vulnerability and its effective remediation in production systems.
The focus is on previously undiscovered software vulnerabilities, which are particularly problematic because they have no known patch. Through the collaboration of the three companies, these hidden gaps are to be identified earlier and incorporated into the remediation process.
For CISOs, this represents an opportunity to streamline the classic vulnerability lifecycle: earlier detection enables earlier prioritization and faster remediation measures before attackers can exploit these gaps.
