Red Hat and its parent company, IBM, have been among the most vocal advocates for an open ecosystem to mitigate the new risks emerging in the agentic AI era. In the past three months, the two companies have been part of multiple efforts to shore up open source software security and supply chains. However, in many ways, the longstanding issues in the industry with open source sustainability and cybersecurity diligence are bigger than even multiple large IT vendors. Will the scope and scale of agentic AI security risks finally be what forces systemic change?
Featuring: Brian Gracely, senior director of portfolio strategy, Red Hat
