How it works

Build code quality into your workflow

Establish your risk tolerance

Teams decide together what level of risk your company is comfortable with. Then automatically enforce policies early across any stage of your software development lifecycle.

Protect against risk that your software can be exploited in ways that are harmful to your business or customers.

Protect against legal risk from open source license obligations. An example is the GPL license which requires public disclosure of source code.

Protect against risk from low-quality components. Sonatype uses a variety of metrics to assess quality including age and popularity.

This is a catch-all category to protect against any other kind of risk, usually related to organizational priorities. One example could be ownership of a component.

Develop with full transparency 

Application security teams get full visibility into the components of each application throughout its lifecycle. Policy is enforced automatically, alerting developers if mild violations are detected, or blocking entire builds if the violations are severe.

21,000 new versions of open source libraries are released each day. Automatically block malicious code, store your favorites in a central repository, and continuously identify risk as code ages.

Even the best developers can make mistakes. Maintain quality at speed and receive actionable feedback during code review where it can save you the most time.

75% of organizations run containerized apps in production. Improve portability and deploy faster at scale everywhere from dev to run-time.

Deploy without delays

Policies are analyzed and enforced automatically so there are no unhappy surprises when it comes to deployment. Easily confirm policy compliance and continue to monitor for new defects.

Platform-Workflow03-UI-Secondary

Identify critical security vulnerabilities and code quality issues, then deliver reports results directly to developers when they can most effectively fix them.

Replace inefficient workflows and the burden of manual policy reviews. Share secure and repeatable components between developers, then save time with automated software supply chain security throughout each build. 

If organizations don’t focus on innovation, they risk being disrupted. Sonatype gives engineering teams the confidence and intelligence to quickly develop the software their businesses need without incurring any trade-offs in quality or security.
