More. We’ll never stop wanting it. The number of applications and their dependencies that require management is continuously growing. Starting now, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) extensions repository addresses the evolving needs of RHEL users by providing a trusted and reliable source of validated software content. Using the RHEL extensions repository, you can keep up with the speed of innovation without compromising security.What is the RHEL extensions repository and should I enable it?The RHEL extensions repository is a collection of software, curated by Red Hat, that includes develo

In their article on post-quantum cryptography, Emily Fox and Simo Sorce explained how Red Hat is integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into our products. PQC protects confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of communication and data against quantum computers, which will make attacks on existing classic cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and elliptic curves feasible. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) are not known to exist yet, but continued advances in research point to a future risk of successful attacks. While the migration to algorithms resistant against such

Non-human identities—also known as machine or workload identities—are becoming increasingly critical as organizations adopt cloud-native ecosystems and advanced AI workflows. For workloads spanning multiple cloud platforms, adhering to zero trust principles becomes challenging as they cross identity domains. A unified identity framework provides consistency in automating identity issuance and enforcing access control policies across diverse environments. SPIFFE/SPIRE, an open source identity issuance framework, enables organizations to implement centralized, scalable identity management on

Het containerplatform Red Hat OpenShift heeft glansrijk een Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) doorstaan. Deze DPIA is door een onafhankelijke partij uitgevoerd in opdracht van Strategisch Leveranciersmanagement Rijk (SLM Rijk). Dit diepgaand technisch onderzoek naar eventuele privacyrisico’s werd doorlopen na de recente ondertekening van een strategische overeenkomst tussen Red Hat en SLM Rijk, die het voor Nederlandse Rijksoverheidsinstanties makkelijker maakt om gebruik te maken van de open source-technologie en dienstverlening van Red Hat. Een DPIA is een belangrijk instrument om e

In hybrid and multicloud environments, proper management of sensitive data-like secrets, credentials and certificates is critical to maintaining a robust security posture across Kubernetes clusters. While Kubernetes provides a Kube-native way to manage secrets, it’s generally understood that Kubernetes secrets are not particularly secret: they are base64 encoded and are accessible to cluster administrators. Additionally, anyone with privileges to create a pod in a specific namespace can access the secrets for that namespace. While at-rest protection can be provided by encrypting sensitive da

Artificial intelligence (AI) workloads are revolutionizing the industry, impacting healthcare, finance services, national security and autonomous systems. As part of this revolution, organizations are increasingly moving their AI workloads to the cloud, taking advantage of its scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Of course this transition to the cloud brings new challenges around data privacy, intellectual property and regulation compliance. Existing virtual machines (VMs) provide isolation between workloads, but they cannot protect workloads from privileged users and software com

Security leaders must address both internal and external risks, ranging from sophisticated cyberattacks to insider threats. At the same time, they must also adhere to an ever-growing list of regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU Cyber Resilience Acts (CRA) and industry-specific mandates like Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). Balancing these concerns requires a strategic approach that integrates security and compliance without compromising operational efficiency.External threatsCybercr

Software supply chain security has become more relevant in the last decade as more and more organizations consume, develop and deploy containerized workloads. Software is inherently complex so an analogy concerning an area of life that we can all relate to should help. Here's a conversation about cooking lasagna!“Do you need any help?”“No, it's fine. I have done this a thousand times, thanks.”“That meat packaging is unusual. It’s just a thin plastic bag. Where did you get that?”“It was a bargain. A young chap knocked the door earlier and said he was selling meat. He had a coole

IBM recently released their 2025 X-Force Cloud Threat Intelligence Index Report.Within the report and in collaboration with Red Hat Insights, “IBM X-Force found that more than half of Red Hat Enterprise Linux customers' environments had not deployed a patch for at least one critical CVE in their environment, and 18% had not patched five or more. At the same time, IBM X-Force found the most active ransomware families (e.g., Akira, Clop, Lockbit and RansomHub) are now supporting both Windows and Linux versions of their ransomware.”Red Hat Insights can help you better understand your overall
