Security is an ongoing engineering discipline, it's not just a reaction to a crisis. For example, if you were responsible for a large suspension bridge, you would know that cracks don’t appear overnight. They start as small stress fractures, invisible to the untrained eye. If ignored, these weaknesses eventually lead to structural failures. That’s why regular maintenance, checking for early signs of wear, reinforcing weak points, and applying protective coating is crucial.Security vulnerabilities in IT are often presented like bridge failures that make news headlines. These issues require

Version 1.15.1 might feel like a run-of-the-mill new release of cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift but actually it features more than a few notable enhancements to improve the security posture of your OpenShift clusters. This exciting release improves the overall security posture of your OpenShift clusters, and expands upon your ability to protect your cluster networking communications with TLS certificates managed by cert-manager. The release of Red Hat OpenShift 4.18 emphasises zero trust architecture, and introduces as Technology Preview, the powerful istio-csr agent via cert-manag

Open source software is the backbone of the modern technology landscape. Enterprises small and large, across industries, rely on open source projects to power critical applications and infrastructure. With the rise of AI-driven code generation tools, developers have a whole new frontier to explore. But while AI-generated contributions might supercharge productivity, they also raise new concerns around security, safety and governance. Below we explore the dynamics of open source projects, how AI-generated code can influence enterprise software and what considerations and best practices you shou

A vulnerability was found in the Infinispan component in Red Hat Data Grid. The REST compare API may have a buffer leak and an out of memory error can occur when sending continual requests with large POST data to the REST API.

Today, ensuring the security and integrity of your software supply chain is more critical than ever. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes is focused on providing users the tools to tackle the greatest security challenges.One essential tool in this effort is the software bill of materials (SBOM), which provides a comprehensive list of all components and libraries used within a software product. With the growing importance of SBOMs for supply chain security—especially in light of the NIST Executive Order—Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 4.7 introduces new features for generating

Confidential computing strengthens application security by providing isolation, encryption and attestation so data remains protected while in use. By integrating these security features with a scalable, high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) ecosystem, organizations can adopt a defense-in-depth approach. This is especially critical for regulated industries handling sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and financial information, enabling them to leverage AI with confidence.In this article, we expl

We are thrilled to announce the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3.0. OpenShift Service Mesh is based on the Istio, Envoy and Kiali projects, and is included with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus. This article provides an overview of Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3.0, including information for existing OpenShift Service Mesh users on how to migrate.OpenShift Service Mesh 3.0 is based on Istio 1.24 and Kiali 2.4. This release is a major update, using a new operator based on the community sail-operator for managing Istio and depl

Since joining the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program in 2002, Red Hat has been committed to excellence, growth and innovation in product security. Today, we’re pleased to announce that Red Hat is now a CVE Numbering Authority of Last Resort (CNA-LR), a prestigious recognition of our leadership, expertise and continued commitment to industry advancement. This achievement is a testament to Red Hat’s dedication and a significant success for the entire open source software (OSS) community of which we are proud to be a part.Red Hat’s role as a CNA remains, with the company bei

In a landscape where cyber threats evolve daily, the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Enterprise Patch Management System (EPMS) plays a critical role in maintaining the cybersecurity of the Department of Defense (DoD). EPMS is not just a tool—it's a strategy, bridging software, efficiency and innovation to enhance the security posture of critical systems.The Importance of EPMSEPMS addresses a core cybersecurity challenge: verifying that all systems are consistently patched against known vulnerabilities. With cyber adversaries growing more sophisticated, leaving any endpoint exp

The sheer amount of technologies today has created a massive boom in innovation, allowing organizations globally to create software in a variety of ways. While having numerous technologies to create software is advantageous, it also presents a challenge—managing the complexity of using so many tools and technologies.Platform engineering is an emerging practice to help organizations streamline their tools and infrastructure into a single cohesive point, known as an internal developer portal(IDP). The goal is to consolidate technologies, knowledge and best practices to boost overall productivi
