IBM and Red Hat partner with Deloitte to fix open-source vulnerabilities
Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. is joining an initiative that IBM Corp. and its Red Hat unit launched in May to fix open-source software vulnerabilities.
The companies announced the move today.
UK-based Deloitte launched in the middle of the eighteenth century as an accounting firm. Today, it’s the world’s largest provider of professional services with $70.5 billion in revenue as of fiscal 2025. The company has a sizable cybersecurity business that helps enterprises scan their infrastructure for vulnerabilities, detect breaches and perform related tasks.
The open-source security initiative at the center of today’s partnership is called Lightwell. IBM and Red Hat launched it last month with a $5 billion initial commitment. Additionally, the companies committed 20,000 engineers to the effort. Lightwell is designed to help enterprises detect and patch exploits in the open-source projects that underpin their software.
