Sonatype Repository Firewall now available for Repo OSS users

Written by Michelle Dufty | March 01, 2018

Sonatype Repository Firewall is now available to more than 10 million developers using Nexus Repository OSS (now known as Sonatype Nexus Repository Community Edition). Repository Firewall automatically prevents open source software components with known security vulnerabilities from entering your Nexus Repository.

Repository Firewall has helped organizations save thousands of hours in manual open source approval processes by automatically quarantining components that fail to meet their governance policies. In fact, one organization saved over 34,000 hours in just 90 days after implementing Repository Firewall, by eliminating the manual review process and blocking the vulnerable components from entering their DevOps pipeline.
