Cloudsmith for banking, fintech, insurtech

Bank-grade artifact management at global scale

Govern the software your teams and their AI agents depend on. Cloudsmith is the fully managed artifact management and software supply chain platform built for the demands of banking, fintech and insurtech, and a modern alternative to JFrog Artifactory and Sonatype Nexus.

The problemEvery dependency is a trust decision: Banking, fintech and insurtech teams pull thousands of open source packages, a growing share requested by AI coding agents. Manual scanning can't keep pace.
Cloudsmith solutionA dependency firewall: Pull all dependencies from public registries through Cloudsmith. Policy evaluation and vulnerability checks run automatically before packages reach developers, AI agents and pipelines.
The problemAgents install first, ask later: AI coding agents choose and install packages straight from public registries, at a pace no review process can follow. You can't govern, or even list, what they bring in.
Cloudsmith solutionOne governed route in: Point agents and developer tools at Cloudsmith and every request follows the same path. Each package is checked against your policies before it is released, and every pull is logged for your teams and auditors.
The problemFractured operations: Complex operations and M&A activity leave teams with scattered artifacts and convoluted processes.
Cloudsmith solutionSingle source of truth: Consolidate all package formats, containers, models and datasets into one observable home, providing a consistent workflow across all business units and newly acquired teams.
The problemDORA, CRA, and financial regulators don't just require security: they require evidence of it. What entered your environment, why it was allowed, who approved exceptions, and how long it's been retained.
Cloudsmith solutionConfigurable retention policies, geo-restricted storage, and an immutable audit trail built in as standard. Not assembled from disconnected tools after the fact.
Software supply chain security

Express your security policies as code and automate software supply chain security

Use industry-standard OPA Rego to automate thousands of security decisions. Soak newly released packages until they're proven safe. Block malware and quarantine packages with vulnerabilities. Keep restrictive licenses out of your software. Every package is checked before it reaches your teams, AI agents and pipelines.
  • Industry-standard OPA Rego policy as code
  • Workflow automations to eliminate chores
  • Comprehensive API to enable integrations & automations

One set of rules implemented everywhere

Universal format support - one policy, every format

Simplify and streamline operations. Cloudsmith supports 30 package formats, including containers, packages, binaries and ML models, in a single platform. Define your governance rules once and they apply everywhere, regardless of format: cooldown policies, provenance rules and licensing requirements across your entire software supply chain.
  • Support for 30 software package formats
  • Docker container registry as standard
  • Hugging Face support for teams building AI pipelines
  • Support for raw files and assets of any type
  • A true single source of truth for all your software

Access that auditors can verify

Replace fragile, long-lived credentials with modern, ephemeral identity controls

When a developer leaves, their access ends immediately across every repository, every format, every environment. When a pipeline authenticates, it uses a short-lived token tied to a specific identity, not a permanent API key that outlasts the project it was created for. Cloudsmith's Ultra and Enterprise plans integrate directly with your IDP, Okta or Azure AD, to automate user lifecycle management across the platform. SCIM deprovisioning revokes access the moment a user is removed. OIDC authentication replaces permanent API keys with short-lived tokens throughout your CI/CD pipelines. Every access decision is recorded, with a complete chain of identity for auditors to follow.
  • SCIM Deprovisioning: Revoke access instantly across the organization when a user leaves.
  • OIDC Authentication: Connect your CI/CD with short-lived tokens, eliminating permanent API keys.

Resilient business continuity

Banking never sleeps, and neither should your software supply chain

Trading systems, payment processing, and customer-facing applications run around the clock. The pipelines that build and deliver them need to do the same. Cloudsmith runs on high-availability architecture with active-failover regional pairs, so an outage in one region doesn't stop your builds. Uptime SLAs are available, tailored to your institution's requirements.
  • Fully-managed, global scale: Cloudsmith scales for the largest global enterprises, with no infrastructure for you to run.
  • Custom SLAs: Guaranteed reliability tailored to your institution’s risk appetite.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some of the questions we get from banking, fintech and insurtech enterprises evaluating Cloudsmith.
  1. Running infrastructure is not a banking problem. Banks are increasingly adopting a "focus on banking, not CI/CD" directive. Cloudsmith is fully managed, with high availability and redundancy built in, so there is nothing to deploy, patch or scale and your teams can focus on core business activities.

  2. Every dependency is a trust decision, and Cloudsmith makes those decisions enforceable. Packages are pulled from public registries through Cloudsmith and scanned the moment they are ingested. Automated policy gates block vulnerable, malicious or unsuitable packages before they reach your build environment, replacing late-stage manual scanning.

  3. Cloudsmith is the software supply chain for the era of AI-enabled software production. Point your AI agents and developers' package managers at Cloudsmith, and every dependency they request flows through it. Cloudsmith proxies requests for open source packages, then applies your policies and checks before making packages, containers and models available. You get one source of truth and one point of control.

  4. Yes. Agents authenticate to Cloudsmith the same way your pipelines do: with read-only entitlement tokens, service accounts, or OIDC tokens that exchange for short-lived credentials, so no permanent API keys sit in agent configuration. Once authenticated, agents pull packages through Cloudsmith instead of going to public registries directly. Your policies decide what is released, every pull is recorded, and your teams get full observability of what agents request and receive.

  5. Cloudsmith puts guardrails around AI-enabled development. You define policies in Rego that set what can and can't flow to agents and developers. Packages above a CVE threshold can be quarantined or blocked, prohibited licenses can be held for inspection, and very new package versions can be held back until they have proven themselves. Your teams get the speed of AI with the controls financial regulators expect.

  6. Yes. Agents that pull from Cloudsmith draw on pre-cached, source-verified registries that act as your organization's memory of each dependency: whether it meets policy, whether it can be used legally, and whether it is the preferred option. That context helps agents ship more uniform, easier-to-maintain software, and it gives your audit logs a record of what entered your environment and why.

  7. Cloudsmith is designed for the high-availability requirements of the banking sector. For more information about our approach to business continuity, you can request access to our BCDR documentation.

  8. Your organization may require long retention periods, up to 7 years for artifacts that affect financial systems. Cloudsmith lets you build custom retention policies that automate these requirements, so you meet compliance mandates without manual intervention.

  9. Yes. Enterprise plans provide detailed usage statistics and audit log exports, enabling you to "show-back" or "charge-back" resource consumption to specific business units or acquired companies.
