Cloudsmith for software and technology
Secure artifact management for teams building and shipping software to customers worldwide
Cloudsmith secures the artifacts your products depend on. It scans continuously, blocks suspect packages, and verifies provenance – so your teams spend less time on infrastructure and more time shipping.
The problemGrowing risk of supply chain attack: Open source repositories lie at the heart of many software projects, making them an obvious target for malicious actors. Securing against these threats manually is an enormous task
Cloudsmith solutionContinuous protection for software dependencies: All public registry dependencies pulled through Cloudsmith. Policy-as-code automates evaluation and vulnerability checks in line with your defined guardrails before packages get to developers and pipelines.
The problemFractured operations: DIstributed teams and differing ways of working lead to task duplication, slowdowns and time wasted keeping the lights on
Cloudsmith solutionSingle source of truth: Consolidate all package formats, AI models, containers, code and data containers, into one observable home with guardrails and policies that you define, providing consistent tools and ways of working for teams around the world.
The problemThe maintenance and compliance overhead: Managing artifacts, checking for vulnerabilities or blocking open source repository use increases development time and costs, lowers productivity and creates frustration.
Cloudsmith solutionReliable compliance: Fully-managed, cloud-native artifact management that scales in response to your team's requirements. Straightforward SBOM generation and with control over artifact retention. Full logging and audit trail out of the box.
The problemSupply Chain Vulnerabilities: Malicious packages that enter your supply chain can wreak havoc in minutes or hours, leading to days of disruption and reputational damage
Cloudsmith solutionSecurity policies that you define: Cloudsmith's policy as code approach allows organizations to define security policies that meet their needs while continuous security constantly enforces these rules across new and existing packages
The problemTime to resolution: Even security incidents that don't impact your business take time and money to investigate, slowing down development cycles
Cloudsmith solutionA full audit trail: Cloudsmith provides a full audit trail of everything in your software supply chain allowing you to quickly resolve issues and get on with the work that matters.
Granular policy enforcement

Yes, we've helped dozens of customers to migrate to Cloudsmith from their existing solution. Our Ultra and Enterprise plans include full onboarding support and a customer success manager to help make the transition smooth and non-disruptive
Cloudsmith scans packages the moment they are ingested into the platform, before they reach your pipelines and developers. This replaces manual scanning, which often occurs after the malicious package has been ingested, with automated gates that block vulnerabilities according to rules and policies that you define.
