Cloudsmith for large software enterprises

Fully managed artifact management for enterprises building software with AI

Cloudsmith is a fully managed artifact management platform and dependency firewall for enterprise software teams. Every dependency your developers and AI agents request flows through Cloudsmith and is checked against your policies first.

The case for change

Why large enterprises choose Cloudsmith

The enterprise problemArtifact sprawl: Fragmented repositories and no single point of control.
With CloudsmithOne source of truth for every dependency, package and container, across all your teams.
The enterprise problemSupply chain attacks: One bad open-source package can move through CI/CD in minutes.
With CloudsmithPolicy-as-code in OPA Rego quarantines vulnerable packages and blocks prohibited licenses automatically.
The enterprise problemSlow investigations: Incidents turn into long forensic exercises.
With CloudsmithA full audit trail shows every artifact, pull and policy decision.
The enterprise problemLegacy platforms: Self-hosted tools become bottlenecks as teams grow.
With CloudsmithCloud-native and fully managed, with 600+ edge PoPs and no infrastructure to run.

Dependency firewall

Control every dependency before it reaches your builds

Developers and AI agents pull dependencies at speed. Point them at Cloudsmith, and every package is checked against your policies first.
  • Proxy public registries like npm, PyPI and Maven Central
  • Quarantine packages that fail your policies
  • Scan for malware, vulnerabilities and license risk
  • Apply the same rules to AI agents and developers

Policy-as-code enforcement

Define your rules once. Enforce them everywhere.

Write policies as code in OPA Rego with Cloudsmith policy management. Cloudsmith applies them across every repository, team and format, so AI agents only receive packages you can use in production.
  • Block or quarantine by CVE threshold
  • Flag restricted licenses such as GPL and AGPL
  • Hold new package versions during a soak period
  • Re-check existing artifacts when new CVEs land

Enterprise scale and performance

Fast, fully managed artifact management at enterprise scale

Cloudsmith is cloud-native, so growing teams and AI-driven build volume do not slow you down.
  • 600+ edge PoPs close to your developers and CI/CD runners
  • Storage and bandwidth that scale automatically
  • 99.9% uptime SLA with multi-region redundancy
  • No infrastructure for your team to run

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from enterprise engineering and security leaders.

  1. Cloudsmith checks every package at ingestion, before it enters your repositories. Flagged packages are quarantined or blocked, and you set the rules in OPA Rego. When a new CVE is disclosed, Cloudsmith re-checks packages already in your repositories.

  2. Yes. Ultra and Enterprise plans include onboarding support and a dedicated customer success manager. They work with your team on migration planning, data transfer and pipeline reconfiguration.

  3. Yes. Cloudsmith supports 30+ formats, including Docker, npm, Maven, PyPI, NuGet, Helm, Debian, RPM and Cargo. One platform gives you consistent policies, access controls and audit logging across all of them.

  4. Cloudsmith is cloud-native and scales storage and bandwidth automatically. 600+ points of presence serve artifacts close to your teams, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA with multi-region redundancy.

  5. Policy management uses policy as code in OPA Rego to define security and compliance rules. Policies are version-controlled and applied across every repository, team and format. You can enforce CVE thresholds, license rules, package age and custom rules based on package metadata.

  6. Cloudsmith keeps an audit trail of artifacts ingested, packages pulled, policy decisions and user actions. Your team can see which packages, pipelines and environments were affected, and export logs to your SIEM.

  7. Cloudsmith integrates with your identity provider through SAML/SSO and SCIM, so provisioning follows your IdP. OIDC replaces static API keys with short-lived tokens in CI/CD. Role-based access control sets permissions by team and repository.

  8. Yes. Cloudsmith is built for AI-enabled software engineering. Point AI agents and developer package managers at Cloudsmith, and every dependency they request is proxied, checked against your policies and logged. Agents move fast, and you stay in control.

  9. A dependency firewall is a control point between public registries and your builds. Cloudsmith's dependency firewall proxies upstream registries such as npm, PyPI and Maven Central, checks every package against your policies for vulnerabilities, malware and license risk, and quarantines anything that fails before it reaches your engineers or CI/CD pipelines.
