Cloudsmith to Sponsor ShipItCon 2024

Belfast, UK, 23 April, 2026 — Cloudsmith, the universal artifact management platform trusted by some of the world's leading enterprises, today announced a $72M Series C financing led by TCV and with participation from Insight Partners, along with investments from other existing investors. The additional funding positions Cloudsmith for massive growth to power the era of AI-driven software development.

Cloudsmith announced an expansion of its advanced security capabilities, framing the platform as a unified control plane that bridges the gap between threat intelligence and active enforcement. The release highlights two core capabilities — continuous package enrichment (pulling from OSV.dev, EPSS, and OpenSSF malicious package data) and OPA-based policy management with features like cool-down periods, exploitability prioritization, deep SBOM inspection, and malicious package detection. The underlying argument: security tools surface risk just fine, but enforcement is disconnected from where software actually moves — and Cloudsmith fixes that.

Cloudsmith announced the early access launch of its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. This new integration layer brings Cloudsmith’s capabilities directly into the developer’s AI-powered workflows
