.NET, C#, and NuGet in the Software Supply Chain

In the .NET and C# world, NuGet is the de-facto package manager for distributing libraries, frameworks, and components. Developers consume hundreds (or thousands) of NuGet packages during build time, and many organizations host internal NuGet feeds and proxy the public NuGet gallery (nuget.org). By integrating NuGet support into our product suite, you can bring C# or .NET dependencies under centralized governance, enforce policies, trace provenance, and plug them into your existing DevSecOps workflows.

Supported Features

Hosted Feeds

Store your own private .nupkg packages for internal reuse and deployment.

Proxy / Caching

Mirror remote NuGet repositories to reduce latency, improve reliability, and reduce external dependency risk.

Group Repository

Expose a unified feed combining hosted + proxy repositories under a single URL.

Package Scanning

Analyze .nupkg and related DLL/PECOFF artifacts for security, license, and identity issues.

Version Policy

Enforce allowed/denied versions of NuGet packages, or block risky versions automatically.

Traceability / SBOM

Generate SBOMs for C# apps, with full dependency lineage and metadata.
