Empower software innovation, securely
We provide software supply chain management for enterprises.
Open source is here to stay
Software development is evolving. 90% of modern applications use open source code for good reason—speed. But when open source components go unmaintained, they become liabilities that leave organizations open to security and licensing risks. Software supply chain attacks are up 742% per year over the past 3 years and enterprises need a way to protect themselves without slowing innovation.
That’s why we invented software supply chain management.
We empower fearless development
We’ve invested in knowing more about the quality of open source than anyone else in the world.
What we do
The Sonatype platform empowers speed and security in open source development. It gives organizations total control of their SDLC for more confidence in every piece of open source code, source code, and containerized code.
Who we help
How we do it
Our intelligence engine combines machine learning and nearly 100 in-house expert data researchers to create faster, more in-depth and accurate information about open source than available anywhere else.
