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. ### How does Cloudsmith defend against targeted supply chain attacks? 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.
