Frequently Asked Questions
What type of application security risks does Sonatype protect against?
Sonatype’s application security solutions help you safeguard your software by addressing a variety of critical risks. To protect against security risks, we identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited to harm your business or customers. We also mitigate license risks by ensuring compliance with open source license obligations, like avoiding legal exposure from GPL licenses that require public disclosure of source code. When it comes to quality risks, Sonatype evaluates components using metrics like age, popularity, and reliability to ensure you’re using the best possible parts. Beyond that, we help manage other risks unique to your organization, such as ensuring proper ownership of components or meeting internal policy requirements.
Is CVE data enough to protect my organization?
Organizations shouldn't solely rely on CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) data because it has inherent limitations that can leave critical gaps in security. While CVE serves as a standardized system for identifying vulnerabilities, it was not designed to handle the scale and speed of modern software development. At Sonatype, we’ve built our approach to vulnerability intelligence to go beyond CVE. By leveraging real-time data collection, independent research, and our own Sonatype ID system, we ensure that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed faster and more accurately. This decentralized, data-rich approach allows us to protect our customers without waiting for CVE updates, ensuring a more robust and proactive security posture.
How do I evaluate the best AppSec tools?
When looking for AppSec solutions, you should evaluate not just feature functionality — but the quality of its vulnerability data. At Sonatype, we deliver tools powered by precise, actionable intelligence to identify and fix vulnerabilities with speed and accuracy. By reducing false positives and prioritizing real risks, our solutions help you secure your software supply chain without slowing development.
How can I automate application security?
Automating application security is all about integrating intelligent tools directly into your development pipeline to catch vulnerabilities before they become problems. With Sonatype, you can automate every step of the process — from identifying and blocking malicious code to enforcing security policies and ensuring compliance with global standards. Our AppSec tools provide real-time alerts, actionable remediation guidance, and continuous monitoring, all powered by unmatched data intelligence.
