Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Red Hat virtual event examining how AI accelerates both vulnerability discovery and exploitation, requiring organisations to shift from human-speed to machine-speed remediation
- Sessions cover agentic software factories, AI-driven threat actor behaviour, software supply chain trust and CI/CD integration for faster patch deployment
- Speakers include security leaders from Red Hat, IBM and JFrog addressing practical approaches to open source security in 2027
- Aimed at security leaders, platform teams and developers responsible for vulnerability management and software supply chain security
About the Event
What’s Next: Open Source Security is a Red Hat virtual event scheduled for November 12, 2026. The event launches a new series focused on emerging technology challenges. Three regional broadcasts are available: APAC (02:00 to 04:30 UTC), EMEA (09:00 to 11:30 UTC) and Americas (16:00 to 18:30 UTC). Each broadcast runs approximately two and a half hours.
The Machine-Speed Security Challenge
The event addresses a fundamental shift in vulnerability management. AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, exploit development and attack execution, while traditional remediation processes remain tied to human timescales. Organisations face growing pressure to automate security responses without disrupting stable production systems or incurring costly upgrades.
Session Topics
Gunnar Hellekson (Vice President and General Manager, Lightwell Business Unit, Red Hat) opens with a session on how AI changes the speed and economics of attacks and defence. James Labocki (Senior Director, Product Management, Red Hat) presents on agentic software factories that automate remediation at machine speed. Patrick Fussell (Global Head of Adversary Simulation, IBM) examines how AI affects threat actors across the breach lifecycle, including reconnaissance, social engineering and post-compromise operations.
Additional sessions explore remediation without upgrade costs (Vince Tsugranes), the implications when both attackers and defenders use AI (Maria Bracho, Paul Davis from JFrog, John Dvorak), integrating AI and automation with CI/CD pipelines (Brad Davis), and building dependency visibility into modernised deployment pipelines (Keri Lovitt, Ian Tewksbury).
Who Should Attend
The event targets security leaders evaluating machine-speed remediation strategies, platform engineering teams responsible for software supply chain security, and developers working with open source dependencies who need to understand evolving vulnerability management practices heading into 2027.
