Your software supply chain is under attack. Cloudsmith stops threats before they reach your pipelines.
Cloudsmith is the fully managed artifact management platform built for enterprise scale. It sits between public registries and your builds, scanning, enforcing policy, and approving every artifact your product depends on before it reaches your engineers or your customers.
Why large software enterprises choose Cloudsmith
Dependency firewall
Block threats before they enter your pipelines
- Upstream proxying: Route all OSS registry traffic through Cloudsmith, eliminating direct exposure to npm, PyPI, Maven Central, and 30+ other public registries.
- Automated quarantine: Packages that breach your CVE thresholds, license rules, or soak-period policies are held automatically, never promoted to production.
- Malware detection: Cloudsmith scans every ingested artifact for known malicious patterns, protecting pipelines from typosquatting and dependency confusion attacks.
- AI-era protection: AI agents pulling dependencies at speed amplify the risk. Cloudsmith inspects every package they request, applying the same governance rules as for human developers.
Policy-as-code enforcement
Security rules your organization defines, enforced automatically
- Granular CVE thresholds: Block, quarantine, or warn based on CVSS score, EPSS probability, or specific CVE IDs, not broad severity buckets.
- License compliance: Flag or block dependencies with GPL, AGPL, or other commercially restricted licenses before they are built into your products.
- Soak periods: Prevent engineers from adopting packages that are too new to be trusted in production. Hold them for a defined period before promotion.
- Continuous re-evaluation: When a new CVE is disclosed, Cloudsmith automatically re-checks every artifact already in your repositories against your standing policies.
Enterprise scale and performance
Artifact management that performs at global enterprise scale
- 600+ edge PoPs: Artifacts are served from the location closest to your developers and CI/CD runners, cutting build latency regardless of geography.
- Elastic at any volume: Storage and bandwidth scale automatically as artifact volumes grow. No capacity planning, no hardware provisioning, no maintenance windows.
- 99.99% uptime SLA: Multi-region redundancy ensures your builds are never blocked by infrastructure downtime.
- Zero management overhead: Cloudsmith is fully managed. Your platform engineering team gains the capability without the operational burden.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, and we make the transition as smooth as possible. Our Ultra and Enterprise plans include full onboarding support and a dedicated customer success manager who works with your team through migration planning, data transfer, and pipeline reconfiguration. We have helped dozens of enterprises migrate from JFrog Artifactory, Sonatype Nexus, and homegrown solutions without disrupting active build pipelines.
Cloudsmith scans every package at the point of ingestion, before it enters your repositories. This is the critical difference from tools that scan after the fact. When a package is flagged, Cloudsmith can quarantine it automatically, block promotion to production environments, and alert your security team, all governed by policies you define in OPA Rego. New CVE disclosures trigger continuous re-evaluation of packages already in your repositories, so a clean package today does not become a silent liability tomorrow.
Yes. Cloudsmith supports 30+ package formats natively, including Docker, npm, Maven, PyPI, NuGet, Helm, Debian, RPM, Cargo, and more. All formats are managed through a single control plane with consistent security policies, access controls, and audit logging. You do not need separate tooling or governance processes for different ecosystems.
Cloudsmith is cloud-native with elastic scaling, so there is no capacity ceiling. Storage and bandwidth scale automatically as your artifact volumes grow. Our global edge network spans 600+ points of presence, ensuring fast artifact delivery to engineering teams and CI/CD runners anywhere in the world. We back this with a 99.99% uptime SLA with multi-region redundancy, so your build pipelines are never blocked by infrastructure issues.
Cloudsmith's Enterprise Policy Manager uses OPA Rego to define security and compliance rules as code. Your policies are version-controlled, auditable, and applied consistently across every repository, team, and package format. You can enforce CVE thresholds, license restrictions, package age (soak periods), and custom rules based on package metadata, all automated, with no manual gatekeeping required.
Cloudsmith maintains a complete, immutable audit trail of every artifact ingested, every package pulled, every policy decision made, and every user action taken across your organization. When a security incident occurs, your team can trace the blast radius quickly, identifying exactly which packages, pipelines, and environments were affected. This log data can be exported to your SIEM or observability platform for centralized monitoring.
Cloudsmith integrates with your Identity Provider via SAML/SSO and SCIM. User provisioning and deprovisioning happen automatically when you add or remove users in your IdP, so there is no manual offboarding. OIDC support replaces static API keys with short-lived tokens in your CI/CD pipelines, eliminating standing credential risk. Role-based access control lets you define precise permissions across teams, repositories, and environments.
Cloudsmith is designed for the AI-enabled engineering era. When AI agents write code and install dependencies at high speed and volume, your artifact management platform needs to keep pace while maintaining governance. Cloudsmith inspects every dependency AI agents request against your policies, applying the same controls as for human developers. AI-generated software does not escape your security guardrails simply because it was produced by an agent.
