Your trading platform is secured. What about the upstream?

As attackers turn their focus on the financial sector, Cloudsmith governs what enters your software supply chain – so every dependency meets your security and compliance standards.

How Cloudsmith can help Cboe

Meet your compliance obligations

Automated SBOM generation, vulnerability tracking, and full audit trails built into the platform – giving your compliance and governance teams the evidence they need.

Block threats before they reach your trading infrastructure

Cloudsmith scans every upstream dependency for malware and CVEs – quarantining or blocking anything that doesn't meet your standards before a build runs.

Centralize policy across every team and region

Define your rules once. Cloudsmith enforces them across every team, every format, and every pipeline – from Chicago to Amsterdam to Sydney.

Your current solutionDependencies enter your environment before your scanning tools see them.

With CloudsmithCloudsmith scans and blocks at the entry point – before a package touches your pipelines or reaches your trading systems.

Your current solutionSecurity policy varies across teams, asset classes, and geographies.

With CloudsmithOne policy, defined centrally, applies across every team, format, and pipeline – from equities to derivatives to FX.

Your current solutionNo automated SBOM generation to satisfy regulatory audit requirements.

With CloudsmithCloudsmith generates SBOMs and maintains the audit trails your compliance obligations require – built in, not bolted on.

Your current solutionAI-recommended dependencies enter your supply chain unverified.

With CloudsmithEvery AI-recommended package passes through the same governance controls as any other artifact entering your supply chain.

Don't just identify threats. Block them.

Most scanning tools catch problems after a dependency has already entered your environment. Cloudsmith sits upstream – governing what enters at the point of consumption, not after the fact. Attackers know this gap exists. Recent campaigns targeting npm and PyPI have shown how malicious packages slip through precisely because they're consumed before security tools see them.

Learn more about software supply chain security

AI is accelerating your development. It's also accelerating your attack surface.

Whether it's GitHub Copilot suggesting a dependency, an AI agent pulling a package autonomously, or a developer using an LLM to scaffold a new service – AI-assisted development is already happening across Cboe's engineering teams. That's not a problem. But every AI-recommended package that enters your supply chain unchecked is an unverified artifact. Cloudsmith makes sure the speed of AI development doesn't come at the cost of supply chain integrity.

Upstream dependency scanning

Cloudsmith scans every package – including AI-recommended dependencies – for malware and CVEs before it reaches your engineers.

Policy-based blocking

Packages that don't meet your standards get blocked before a build runs – regardless of how they were sourced or recommended.

Consistent governance

The same rules apply to AI-generated dependencies as any other artifact entering your supply chain – no exceptions for speed or convenience.

AI tooling visibility

See what your AI development tools pull into your environment, where it came from, and whether it meets your security policy – before it touches production.

Centralize policy enforcement across distributed teams

Cboe operates across multiple asset classes, geographies, and business units. Cloudsmith's Enterprise Policy Manager lets your central team define vulnerability policies, license restrictions, and compliance rules once. They apply across every team, every format, and every pipeline – automatically.

A dependency firewall for your supply chain

Cloudsmith proxies all upstream open-source consumption through a governed layer. Every package is scanned for malware and CVEs before it reaches your developers. Anything that doesn't meet your standards is quarantined or blocked at the point of ingestion – not flagged after the fact.

Supply chain visibility and SBOM generation

Cloudsmith gives you a complete view of every artifact in your supply chain: what it is, where it came from, and whether it meets your current policy. Artifact signing, dependency tracing, and automated SBOM generation give your compliance teams the evidence chain they need – without a separate compliance exercise.

Global distribution without the overhead

Engineering teams in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific get fast, reliable access to the artifacts they need – without your platform team managing the infrastructure that delivers it. Cloudsmith replicates across regions automatically, with built-in high availability and BCDR at no additional cost.

Multi-format artifact management

npm, Helm, Maven, Python, NuGet, Docker – all governed from a single platform. One set of policies. One source of truth. No fragmented repository estate to maintain across your engineering organization.

Consolidate a fragmented artifact estate

Growth through acquisition leaves engineering organizations with fragmented tooling, inconsistent processes, and repositories that don't talk to each other. Cloudsmith gives you a single platform to consolidate onto – unifying policy enforcement and bringing every team onto the same governed foundation without disrupting the pipelines that depend on them.

Built for audit. Not bolted on.

Financial market infrastructure operators face a growing body of regulation that extends beyond traditional IT controls – into software supply chain integrity, third-party dependency risk, and operational resilience. Cloudsmith gives your compliance and governance teams what they need: SBOM generation, policy enforcement with audit trails, and full package provenance tracking – built into your pipelines, not retrofitted after the fact.

Before

ConstructConnect's InfoSec team demanded stronger supply chain security controls – but their tooling couldn't deliver. Vulnerability scanning existed, but enforcing policy compliance across a fragmented artifact estate was manual and inconsistent. Development teams spent time on pipeline workarounds instead of shipping features. With over 100 engineers working across npm, Helm, Maven, Python, NuGet, and Docker, the lack of centralized governance created real risk – and real overhead.

With Cloudsmith

ConstructConnect deployed Cloudsmith's Enterprise Policy Manager to automate quarantine and blocking of non-compliant and vulnerable packages. Vulnerability scanning, license scanning, package signing, and SBOM generation became part of every pipeline – not a separate compliance exercise. Only artifacts that pass scanning reach development teams. Multi-format repositories replaced a fragmented estate of individual repositories, cutting management overhead across the team.

Results

Governance scores improved quarter on quarter
Near-zero high and critical vulnerabilities across the supply chain
InfoSec team gained the visibility to act on vulnerabilities, not just identify them
Developers moved from managing pipeline workarounds to delivering features
Every artifact reaching production is verified and compliant
