Much has changed, not only in Red Hat Lightspeed itself, but also in how organizations are using it. Across industries, teams have built custom dashboards, reporting portals, and IT service management (ITSM) integrations powered by the Red Hat Lightspeed API. Others have connected Red Hat Lightspeed data into continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, monitoring environments, and automated remediation workflows, turning operational intelligence into action. Today, that vision has expanded. Integrations have matured, authentication has evolved, and new automation paths now let you go beyond “alerting” toward closed-loop, intelligent remediation—where Red Hat Lightspeed findings can directly trigger actions across your automation and observability stack. This post explores what’s new in 2025, including token-based authentication, updated integrations, Event-Driven Ansible, and the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and how these security-focused capabilities help you connect insight to action. The Red Hat Lightspeed team has modernized its API authentication model to support service account–based, token-driven access , marking a major step forward in both security and automation flexibility. Previously, API integrations relied on user credentials and basic authentication. While functional at the time, this approach made it difficult to automate at scale or enforce consistent access controls across multiple systems. Basic authentication has since been deprecated and is no longer supported, reinforcing a shift toward more security-focused, scalable, token-based access.
