The telecommunications industry is accelerating its digital transformation, driven by the increasing complexity of modern networks and the demand for faster, more reliable services rollout. To meet these demands, operators are turning to autonomous intelligent networks, designed to ingest massive amounts of data and autonomously execute actions at high speed. The journey to autonomous intelligent networks is not a technology project—it is a mandatory operational shift to protect margins and accelerate time-to-service. This has led to concepts such as a DarkNOC, a network operations center th

In May 2025, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL) shipped with the first steps toward post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to protect against attacks by quantum computers, which will make attacks on existing classic cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and elliptic curves feasible. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQC) are still not known to exist, but that does not mean the risk is zero. For example, "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks do not need a quantum computer now, one only needs to become available before the stored encrypted data loses its value, and depending on the transferr

As we continue to expand intelligence capabilities in Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, we’ve made the MCP server available as a technology preview feature in Ansible Automation Platform 2.6.4.

At the recent OpenShift Commons gathering in Atlanta, we had the opportunity to hear from Gustavo Fiuza, IT leader, and Welton Felipe, DevOps engineer, about the remarkable digital transformation at Banco do Brasil. As the second-largest bank in Latin America, they manage a massive scale, serving 87 million customers and processing over 900 million business transactions daily. We learned how they evolved from a siloed community Kubernetes environment to a highly efficient, hybrid multicloud platform powered by Red Hat OpenShift. Scalability through capabilities and hyperautomationA primary tak

For the last 5 years, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has largely been discussed as a research topic. It was a question of if—if the standards are ratified, if the algorithms perform, if the threat is real.In 2025, Red Hat changed the conversation. We stopped asking “if” and started defining “how.” This past year, we moved PQC out of the laboratory and into the operating system (OS). It wasn’t just about upgrading libraries, it was about pushing the entire modern software supply chain. We found that while the foundation is ready, the ecosystem has a long way to go.Here is the story

Confidential computing represents the next frontier in hybrid and multicloud security, offering hardware-level memory protection (data in use) through technologies such as AMD SEV and Intel TDX. However, implementing storage solutions in these environments presents unique challenges that traditional approaches can't address.In this article, we'll explore different approaches to adding storage to Red Hat OpenShift confidential container environments, what to watch out for, and how AltaStata—a Red Hat partner—simplifies the process with encryption and protection for AI.The challenge: Storage

Within Red Hat’s Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) framework, an embargo is a strictly-defined window of time during which a security vulnerability is known only to a small group of trusted parties before being made public, including the vulnerability reporter and the relevant upstream community and partners.Why are embargoes necessary? The primary goal of an embargo is customer protection. If a severe vulnerability is disclosed immediately upon discovery by way of "full disclosure" without an available patch, malicious actors have a window of opportunity to exploit systems while us
