Expert Statements
Gunnar Hellekson, Vice president and general manager, Lightwell, Red Hat
“AI agents shifted the threat landscape overnight, exploiting old dependencies at machine speed. They do not care if a codebase is ten years old or otherwise considered stable, because one small crack is all it takes to chain an attack together. Finding those bugs is only half the battle: the real work is backporting fixes directly into active production apps so customers do not have to pick between security and uptime. Finding and neutralizing 400+ novel vulnerabilities so quickly shows how fast Lightwell can move, and we are just getting started.”
