Fedora Hummingbird brings the container security model to a Linux host OS

Container image security pipelines have spent the past several years pushing toward minimal footprints, hermetic builds, and continuous CVE remediation. The Fedora Project is now applying that same approach to the host operating system. At Red Hat Summit 2026, Fedora announced Fedora Hummingbird, a container-based rolling Linux distribution delivered as an OCI image. “The Linux…

The Future of Data Platforms: From Pipelines to Intelligent Orchestration

GUEST OPINION:  For years, organisations have invested heavily in building data pipelines — structured flows that move data from source systems into warehouses, lakes, and dashboards. These pipelines have been the backbone of reporting and analytics. But as enterprises accelerate their adoption of AI, digital platforms, and real-time decision-making, pipelines alone are no longer enough.

AI frenzy feeds credential chaos, secrets spread through code, tools, and infrastructure

Code keeps moving through pipelines, and credentials continue to surface alongside it. GitGuardian’s State of Secrets Sprawl 2026 puts the count at 28.65 million new hardcoded secrets in public GitHub commits in 2025, extending a multi-year rise in exposed access keys, tokens, and passwords. Public and internal repositories that contain at least one secret (Source:…

PyPI warns developers after LiteLLM malware found stealing cloud and CI/CD credentials

PyPI is warning of possible credential theft from AI applications and developer pipelines after two malicious versions of the widely used Python middleware for large language models, LiteLLM, were briefly published. “Anyone who has installed and run the project should assume any credentials available to the LiteLLM environment may have been exposed, and revoke/rotate them…

Plumber: Open-source scanner of GitLab CI/CD pipelines for compliance gaps

GitLab CI/CD pipelines often accumulate configuration decisions that drift from security baselines over time. Container images get pinned to mutable tags, branches lose protection settings, and required templates go missing. An open-source tool called Plumber automates the detection of those conditions by scanning pipeline configuration and repository settings directly. What Plumber checks Plumber reads a…

Chainguard locks down CI/CD with secure-by-default actions

Chainguard has announced Chainguard Actions, secure-by-default workflows for CI/CD pipelines that allow developers and AI agents to ship quickly without introducing software supply chain risk. Using an agentic approach, Chainguard Actions provides a continuously secured catalog of workflows maintained by the Chainguard Factory, the infrastructure that has become the industry standard for delivering trusted open…

Everyone uses open source, but patching still moves too slowly

Enterprise security teams rely on open source across infrastructure, development pipelines, and production applications, even when they do not track it as a separate category of technology. Open source has become a default building block in many environments, and the operational risks now look like standard enterprise security problems: patch delays, version sprawl, and aging…
