Building secure software requires new operational approaches in the era of AI. Join us at the next Columbus Red Hat User Group (RHUG) to explore how Red Hat is advancing open-source supply chain security, reducing system attack surfaces, and embedding security across the application lifecycle.
### Key Discussion Topics
- Red Hat Lightwell: Enterprise-grade patch backporting directly to Python/PyPI and Java/Maven frameworks, enabling CVE remediation without forcing breaking production upgrades.
- Reducing Attack Surfaces: How Hummingbird Linux, distroless Red Hat Hardened Images, and Red Hat Trusted Packages minimize CVE scanner noise and secure required dependencies.
- Trusted Software Factory: Transforming toolchains to embed security across the cloud-native lifecycle using the same trusted code foundation Red Hat relies on internally.
