Secure Your F# Projects from Vulnerable Dependencies
Build, manage, and secure your F# applications with confidence. Gain full visibility into the open source components used across your F# projects and reduce risk throughout the SDLC.
Modern F# Development Requires Modern Dependency Management
The F# language is a functional-first, strongly typed programming language that runs on the .NET platform. Like other .NET-based ecosystems, F# projects rely heavily on third-party packages distributed through NuGet and other repositories. Managing these dependencies across distributed teams, CI/CD pipelines, and evolving F# builds introduces risk — especially when open source components contain security vulnerabilities, license conflicts, or malicious code. Sonatype helps organizations gain control of their F# development environments by improving visibility, governance, and automation across the entire software supply chain.
Supported Features
Dependency Intelligence
Identify and evaluate open source components in your F# projects, including transitive dependencies from NuGet packages.
Vulnerability Detection
Find and fix known vulnerabilities in your F# dependencies early in the development process, reducing risk before your code goes live.
Automated Policy Enforcement
Set security and license policies to guide development teams toward safer components during the F# build process.
License Compliance
Monitor open source licenses to ensure your F# applications meet legal and organizational requirements.
Repository Management
Manage how F# packages enter your development environment by controlling access to internal and external repositories.
CI/CD Integration
Embed security and quality checks into your F# build pipelines to stop risky components from moving downstream.
Improve Software Supply Chain Security for F# Applications
From financial platforms to cloud services, F# is used in many high-value systems. To properly secure them, static code review isn't enough. You need to continuously monitor third-party components throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
-
Reduce Risk Early
Catch vulnerabilities and policy violations during development rather than after deployment, minimizing remediation costs.
-
Increase Developer Confidence
Provide developers with clear guidance and automated guardrails, so they can move quickly without sacrificing security.
-
Strengthen Governance
Establish consistent standards across teams and F# projects to maintain compliance and reduce operational risk.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Does F# depend on external packages?
Yes. Most F# projects use third-party libraries distributed through NuGet and other repositories. These dependencies can introduce security and compliance risks if not properly managed.
How can I secure my F# build pipeline?
Integrating automated dependency analysis, vulnerability detection, and policy enforcement into your CI/CD workflow helps prevent insecure components from entering your F# build process.
Why is dependency management important for F# projects?
Modern applications rely on open source components. Without proper visibility and governance, vulnerable dependencies can enter your software supply chain and increase risk.
