What it is

Sonatype Nexus

Sonatype is the leading Software Composition Analysis (SCA) platform. It monitors open source dependencies used in the code, identifies known vulnerabilities (CVEs), incompatible licenses, and malicious components before they enter the build. It is the answer to supply chain risk events like SolarWinds and Log4Shell.

SCA: Software Composition Analysis

Maps all open source components in use and identifies CVEs, outdated versions, and vulnerable transitive dependencies.

Pipeline blocking

Nexus Lifecycle automatically blocks builds when it detects components with critical vulnerabilities or licenses prohibited by company policy.

Secure artifact repository

Nexus Repository acts as a proxy and dependency cache, ensuring only approved components are used by development teams.

License governance

Detects use of GPL, AGPL, and other licenses incompatible with proprietary software before they create legal risk.
