As adversaries weaponize AI against the systems organizations depend on, IBM is putting cutting-edge defenses in the hands of clients

ARMONK, N.Y., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the latest expansion of its enterprise security program for the AI era, and partners with Anthropic as a member of Project Glasswing, an industry initiative to defend the world's critical software infrastructure.

For decades, IBM has secured the systems the world depends on, from mainframes processing global financial transactions to the open-source platforms and hybrid cloud environments at the core of critical industries in more than 175 countries. As attackers use frontier AI to accelerate every phase of the attack lifecycle, from reconnaissance to vulnerability discovery to exploitation, IBM is pairing its deep experience with a new generation of defenses built for the AI era.

Project Glasswing extends these efforts, uniting a coalition of security and technology leaders committed to protecting essential infrastructure and sharing findings across industries. As part of Glasswing, IBM has been identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in widely used software and sharing those findings with the broader community.

"AI-powered attacks have already moved beyond what traditional defenses can match. We're helping clients assess their exposure and putting tools like IBM Concert to work in more environments. Separately, as part of Project Glasswing, we've been hardening our own products and contributing fixes back to the open-source community. The collaboration makes the entire ecosystem stronger," said Rob Thomas, SVP Software & Chief Commercial Officer, IBM.

This is where IBM is already investing and leading:

• IBM Concert uses AI to help organizations find and fix vulnerabilities before threats happen by unifying application, infrastructure, and network signals into a single, operational view — moving organizations from passive monitoring to coordinated, intelligent response. Its built-in security capabilities extend into the developer's IDE through IBM Concert Secure Coder, which detects and prioritizes risks by business impact and generates automatic remediations as code is written, stopping vulnerabilities before they reach production.
• IBM Consulting helps clients translate new AI-driven risks into their specific environments by redesigning vulnerability and open-source management for compressed timelines. IBM Autonomous Security, a multi-agent service, delivers coordinated detection, decision-making, and response at machine speed, supported by IBM's business partners.
• IBM and Red Hat's open-source leadership helps clients mitigate the risks that come with using unsupported code. By contributing fixes proactively and maintaining enterprise-grade versions of widely used open-source components, IBM and Red Hat can move quickly when issues arise — giving clients the confidence of open source with the reassurance of reliable, rapid support.

IBM contributes findings from Glasswing through coordinated disclosure, upstream open-source patches, and best practices shared with fellow participants — reflecting the company's long-held view that openness and scrutiny are prerequisites for security at scale.

Ein Zwischenfall mit einem Kleinflugzeug hat am Montagnachmittag den Flugbetrieb am Hamburger Flughafen vorübergehend zum Erliegen gebracht. Eine aus Cannes kommende Maschine setzte bei der Landung mit der Nase auf und wurde dabei beschädigt, wie ein Flughafensprecher mitteilte. Verletzt wurde niemand. Nach Angaben des Sprechers war das Flugzeug in Hamburg gelandet und „dabei zu Schaden gekommen“.

Dem Boulevardblatt „Bild“ zufolge verlor das Kleinflugzeug beim Aufsetzen sein Bugrad und setzte anschließend mit der Flugzeugnase auf der Piste auf. An Bord sollen zwei Personen gewesen sein. Offiziell bestätigt wurden zunächst der Schaden an der Maschine und das Ausbleiben von Verletzten. Um welche Art von Flug handelte, wurde zunächst nicht detailliert erläutert; laut „Bild“ soll es sich um eine Socata TBM-700C gehandelt haben.

Die Beschädigung der Maschine führte dazu, dass der komplette Flugbetrieb in Hamburg zeitweise gestoppt werden musste. Während der Bergung des Flugzeugs und der anschließenden Reinigung der Start- und Landebahn waren weder Starts noch Landungen möglich. „Das muss sehr gewissenhaft gereinigt werden“, sagte der Sprecher. Schon kleinste Trümmerteile könnten beim Starten und Landen gefährlich für andere Flugzeuge werden.

Die betroffene Maschine traf gegen 16 Uhr am Hamburger Flughafen ein. Spezialisten sollen nun untersuchen, wie es zu dem Vorfall kommen konnte. Der Flughafen nahm den Betrieb wieder auf, nachdem das Kleinflugzeug geborgen und die Bahn gereinigt worden war. Mit Verspätungen und Umleitungen war in der Folge zu rechnen, während sich der Verkehr schrittweise normalisierte.
