Full Spectrum Software Supply Chain Automation

It's a familiar dilemma for every software engineering team: the tools they depend upon to minimize application security risk commonly create friction for software developers. Such tools cause developers to waste time chasing false positives while leaving companies exposed to false negatives. Oftentimes, these tools are ignored entirely because they simply don't integrate with the developer's workflow. It's painful for everyone, and it grinds the gears of digital innovation.

The challenge exists for all types of software engineering teams managing all types of code, including first-party source code, third-party open-source code, containerized code, and infrastructure as code. Fortunately, Sonatype can help.
