Securing the Open Source Supply Chain with Red Hat Lightwell
Presenter: Matt Hargrave, Senior Account Solution Architect, Red Hat
Modern application development relies heavily on open source dependencies, but the rise of AI-driven vulnerability discovery has transformed software supply chain risk. When security flaws affect third-party packages, standard upgrade paths often force a difficult choice: risk destabilizing production with major updates or leave known vulnerabilities unpatched. Join Matt Hargrave, Senior Account Solution Architect at Red Hat, for an in-depth session on Red Hat Lightwell, a groundbreaking initiative designed to secure enterprise open source packages without breaking production.
AI on the RHEL Command Line: Supercharging System Administration
Presenter: John Henley, Principal Account Solution Architect, Red Hat
Generative AI is changing how we manage infrastructure, but generic AI assistants often lack distribution-specific knowledge, leading to inaccurate or unsafe command recommendations on enterprise systems. Bringing AI directly to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) command line changes the game by providing contextual guidance, script generation, and rapid troubleshooting directly at your fingertips. Join John Henley, Principal Account Solution Architect at Red Hat, for an interactive deep dive into AI on the RHEL Command Line.
