is a software solution with powerful analytics and end-to-end system management tools that help you identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities before they become a problem. Remediate fixes when needed using automated playbooks, as well as create standard repeatable images, apply patches, and maintain security, performance, and compliance across your open hybrid cloud environment, all from a single interface. Access to Red Hat Lightspeed is included with every Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription, so there's nothing extra to buy. To get started, visit console.redhat.com and navigate to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. At a glance, your Red Hat Lightspeed dashboard offers a wealth of information about the health and security of your environment at scale. A great way to start is to focus your attention on high-priority vulnerabilities, like common vulnerabilities and exposures, or CVEs, with security rules that are impacting one or more systems, and CVEs with known exploits. You can also utilize the graphical view of CVEs, ranked by a common vulnerability scoring system from zero to 10, to prioritize which vulnerabilities you should address first. Recommendations from the Advisor Service will help get your systems in line with Red Hat best practices. Recommendations are conveniently broken down by risk and by category. Right away, you'll see any problematic conditions that have caused an incident to be reported, and with one click, you're able to view incident details, single fixes that resolve multiple issues, like kernel updates, and more. Eliminate the headache of keeping track of patches with Red Hat Lightspeed Patch Service that helps you understand which advisories are applicable in your environment. While Red Hat Lightspeed provides robust information right out of the box, some setup is required for the dashboard to display regulatory policy data from the compliance service, like PCI and HIPAA, as well as for the Resource Optimization Service that allows you to monitor cloud usage and optimization for your cloud-based environments. Want to manage your subscriptions more efficiently? Red Hat Lightspeed eliminates guesswork with a detailed view of subscription utilization to help you make informed decisions. To dig in deeper, you can go into an individual service for more information, such as the Vulnerability Service, which helps simplify the job of managing and tracking vulnerabilities with the ability to quickly analyze which systems are affected and then export the data to stakeholders throughout the organization. When time is short and you need to understand your level of exposure and report the information quickly, use filters to generate lists of CVEs your systems are exposed to, including security rules, known exploits, severity, status, and more. At a glance, you can see how many systems are affected, the published date, as well as the business risk, which can be defined according to the impact on your organization. You can also change the status to reflect any actions that have been taken. A brief description is provided for every CVE, along with a list of associated security rules and a link to the Red Hat Knowledge Base. Click the CVE ID to see more information. You can also verify which systems contain an affected package with vulnerable code but haven't negatively impacted the security of the system, helping to save time and eliminate false positives. Red Hat Lightspeed not only helps you know if you're vulnerable, it also helps you remediate issues in your environment. Simply select the affected system and click the button to start the process of generating a playbook. Once the playbook is created, you can download it, or if role-based access has been properly configured, you can execute directly from Red Hat Lightspeed. From tracking licenses and managing costs to identifying and remediating security and performance risks, when you're looking for ways to better manage your hybrid cloud environment, use the predictive analytics and deep domain expertise included with Red Hat Lightspeed to reduce complex operational tasks from hours to minutes. Visit console.redhat.com and start putting Red Hat Lightspeed into action today.

TL;DR

  • Red Hat Lightspeed is included with every RHEL subscription and provides analytics, vulnerability management, patch tracking, compliance monitoring, and automated remediation through a unified console at console.redhat.com.
  • The platform prioritizes CVE remediation using CVSS scoring (0-10 scale), identifies high-priority vulnerabilities with known exploits, and generates Ansible playbooks for automated fixes that can be executed directly from the interface.
  • Key services include Advisor (best practice recommendations), Patch (advisory tracking), Compliance (PCI/HIPAA policy monitoring), Resource Optimization (cloud usage analysis), and subscription utilization management to eliminate guesswork in license tracking.

Summary

This tutorial introduces Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Red Hat Insights), a comprehensive analytics and system management platform included with every Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription. The demonstration walks through the console.redhat.com interface, showcasing how administrators can identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, prioritize CVE remediation using CVSS scoring, and leverage automated Ansible playbooks for fixes. Key capabilities highlighted include the Advisor Service for best practice recommendations, Patch Service for advisory tracking, Compliance Service for regulatory policy monitoring (PCI, HIPAA), Resource Optimization for cloud usage analysis, and subscription utilization tracking. The platform consolidates vulnerability management, patch tracking, compliance monitoring, and remediation workflows into a single interface, with the ability to filter CVEs by security rules, known exploits, and business risk, while eliminating false positives by identifying vulnerable packages that haven't been exploited. The video emphasizes the platform's role in reducing operational complexity across hybrid cloud environments through predictive analytics and automated remediation capabilities.

FAQ

Is Red Hat Lightspeed an additional purchase or included with RHEL subscriptions?

Red Hat Lightspeed is included with every Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription at no additional cost. Access is available immediately through console.redhat.com by navigating to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux section.

How does Red Hat Lightspeed help prioritize which vulnerabilities to address first?

The platform uses CVSS scoring (0-10 scale) to rank vulnerabilities and highlights high-priority items including CVEs with security rules impacting systems, CVEs with known exploits, and incidents that have caused problematic conditions. Administrators can also define business risk levels based on organizational impact.
