IBM, Red Hat Provide Lightwell Free Access to Universities and NGOs
Summary
IBM and Red Hat are giving universities, NGOs, and think tanks free access to Lightwell, their open source vulnerability remediation program. The initiative helps eligible institutions secure software dependencies with validated fixes, digitally signed binaries, and compliance artifacts without exposing proprietary code or data. IBM and Red Hat position the program as a way to reduce the engineering effort needed to manage open source risk while supporting the broader open source ecosystem. They will start onboarding eligible institutions in August 2026.
