Everything You Need from Sonatype
Comprehensive features designed to accelerate your security programme and reduce risk across the entire development lifecycle.
Nexus Repository
A cloud-native artifact repository manager that stores, proxies and distributes software applications, AI/ML models and components at scale.
Malicious Package Detection
Sonatype notes that 1 in 10 open source repositories are exposed to malicious packages annually; Repository Firewall evaluates and quarantines malicious components before they reach your build.
Component Intelligence
A component intelligence database with vulnerability, licence and quality data that guides component selection before code ships.
Policy Enforcement
Define and enforce component usage policies automatically across development, CI/CD, and production environments.
Sonatype Repository Firewall
Automatically evaluates new open-source components against governance policies and quarantines violations before they reach your artifact repository.
Developer IDE Plugins
Component intelligence in IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Visual Studio 2022 and VS Code so developers choose safer components from the start.
Is Sonatype Right for Your Team?
Sonatype names developers, DevOps and security teams as its audience, and lists government, financial services, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, automotive and retail among the industries it serves.
Who uses Sonatype: Sonatype names USPTO, Nomura, Software AG, Krungsri, Mühlbauer ID Services GmbH, DCAI, Alef Education and Endress+Hauser among its customers on its own website.
Sonatype Is a Good Fit For
- Development and security teams governing open source and AI components pulled into applications
- Organisations in government, financial services, healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, technology and retail
- Teams that need to show alignment with NIST SP 800-218 (SSDF), EO 14028, FedRAMP or the Cyber Resilience Act
- Teams running a central binary repository who want built-in malware and policy protection at the repository level
Why Teams Choose Sonatype
- Eliminate open-source security backlogs with automated software composition analysis
- Reduce mean time to remediate for vulnerable and malicious open-source components
- Stop malicious and policy-violating packages from ever entering the repository
- Generate, ingest, store and share SBOMs to support audits and regulatory reporting
What You Gain with Sonatype
Automated SCA and remediation
Sonatype Lifecycle offers 18 default policies and over 30 customizable constraints, and can raise Golden Pull Requests that Sonatype describes as breaking nothing.
Risk-based prioritisation
Findings are prioritised using reachability, breaking-change and upgrade-availability data; Sonatype notes that nearly 65% of open source CVEs are missing an NVD-assigned severity score.
Repository Firewall quarantine
Repository Firewall evaluates every new open-source component against governance policies and automatically quarantines violating components before they reach your artifact repository, without disrupting existing builds.
Centralized artifact management
Sonatype Nexus Repository stores and distributes components, AI/ML models and containers, and Sonatype states it supports 20+ artifact formats.
SBOM lifecycle management
Sonatype SBOM Manager ingests, stores, catalogues, searches and continuously monitors SBOMs in CycloneDX and SPDX formats, with a VEX workflow for vulnerability data.
Licence policy at scale
Sonatype Lifecycle lets teams set policies across more than 2000 open source licences in its database, which shortens legal review of open-source usage.
