Cloudsmith for banking, fintech, insurtech

Bank-grade artifact management at global scale

Master the complexity of financial software workflows while mitigating software supply chain attacks. Cloudsmith is software supply chain re-imagined for the strict demands of banking, fintech, and insurtech. Securing open-source supply chains and AI-generated code, Cloudsmith is a fully-managed alternative to JFrog Artifactory and Sonatype Nexus.

The problemIncreased risk of supply chain attack: Banking, fintech and insurtech are prime targets for malicious packages and exfiltration attempts. Manual scanning won't cut it.
Cloudsmith solutionA firewall for software dependencies: Pull all dependencies from public registries through Cloudsmith. Automate policy evaluation and vulnerability checks before packages get to developers and pipelines.
The problemFractured operations: Complex operations and M&A activity leaves 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 to be safe. Block malware and quarantine packages with vulnerabilities. Keep restrictive licenses out of your software. Stop threats before they get to teams and pipelines, harming your business.
  • 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 — containers, packages, binaries, ML models, under a single platform. Define your governance rules once and they apply everywhere, regardless of format, applying 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: Procure Cloudsmith for effortless scaling for the largest global enterprises.
  • 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 who are evaluating Cloudsmith

  1. Running infrastructure is not a banking problem, banks are increasingly adopting the "focus on banking, not CI/CD" directive. By switching to Cloudsmith for artifact management, internal teams can focus on core business activities.

  2. For fintechs and banks, targeted attacks via malicious third-party packages are a constant threat. Cloudsmith enables a "Shift Left" security posture by scanning packages the moment they are ingested into the platform. This replaces "too-late" manual scanning with automated gates that block vulnerabilities before they ever reach your build environment.

  3. 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

  4. Your organisation may require a lengthy retention periods—maybe up to 7 years for artifacts impacting financial systems. Cloudsmith allows you to automate these requirements by letting you build custom retention policies, ensuring you meet compliance mandates without manual intervention.

  5. 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.
