SPEAKING SESSION

Join our Solution Provider Session!

Date & Time: Tuesday, November 17 at 11:15 a.m. 
Session Title: Open Source & Agentic AI: Securing Workloads & Infrastructure 

Abstract: Artificial intelligence-driven vulnerability discovery is currently surpassing closed-source software, with autonomous agents operating across IT estates with equal velocity. Organizations must treat these agents as first-class workloads by enforcing robust identity management, policy controls, observability, and rollback mechanisms. Furthermore, open-source software serves as a crucial defensive advantage, offering collective inspection, supply-chain auditability, and patches validated through real-world deployment rather than vendor claims. Professionals must determine appropriate instrumentation, establish boundaries for refusal, and implement coordinated open defense strategies to effectively limit the blast radius.

Introducing Lightwell

A joint venture between Red Hat and IBM, Lightwell helps enterprises address vulnerable third-party open source dependencies when normal upgrades create compatibility, certification, release, audit, or production risk.
