Frequently Asked Questions

Why is GitLab security not enough?

Good enough is not enough. Sonatype augments GitLab with best-in-class vulnerability data and securing findings. By using both solutions, developers can save time spent fixing security issues. 

How can GitLab and Sonatype users maximize the investments they have already made in DevOps tools? 

Users can maximize the investments they have already made by leveraging best-of-breed technologies for application security and repository managers. The GitLab and Sonatype integration allows users to embed security into the DevOps tools they are already using.  This helps them shift security left in the SDLC, creates better developer experiences, and increases release velocity.

How easy is it to integrate Sonatype and GitLab?

Sonatype can be easily integrated with GitLab by following the prescribed documentation guidelines.

We leverage the application permissions as configured in GitLab for access control. The integration of these tools enhances the overall development experience by combining:

  • Repository/Artifactory
  • Security
  • Collaboration
  • Version control

Do you have to replace GitLab to work with Sonatype?

No, Sonatype complements the developer experience with GitLab. The Sonatype GitLab integration allows you to automatically create trustworthy pull requests for accelerating dependency management. Developers can remediate with recommendations context about policy violations in pull requests. This is backed up by Sonatype’s prioritization engine giving developers confidence that they’re being recommended the best version available and removing friction in their GitLab pipeline.

Why do you need a reliable security partner like Sonatype along with your DevOps tool?

The question to ask is how much time you spend fixing false positives or false negatives. The more you automate, the more you also have to automate security. You need a reliable partner to do that, or development speed is impeded and can cause things like delayed release dates, etc.

How can customers enhance their ROI with Sonatype and GitLab combination?

The Sonatype-GitLab integrated experience is not just about innovation; it's about maximizing your ROI by investing in security and efficiency. The integration reduces security risks, streamlines workflows, and ensures compliance.

How does Sonatype improve collaboration between Development and Security?

Sonatype brings together automation, development, security, and release processes to reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities and time spent developing software.

How Sonatype and GitLab when used together provide a DevSecOps Accelerator?

Sonatype and GitLab, when used together, provide a DevSecOps Accelerator enabling your organization to elevate its development practices, enhance security, and foster a culture of continuous innovation. Sonatype makes GitLab work better by using the industry’s best data source to identify and fix 8x more vulnerabilities than they do, 10x faster than they do.
