What is Cloudsmith?

Cloudsmith is the only cloud-native, global, universal artifact management platform for secure software distribution. With support for 28+ package formats and integrations with popular DevOps tools, Cloudsmith lets organizations consolidate teams and activities into one centrally managed platform, simplifying how they manage and secure the software development lifecycle.

Profile

Cloudsmith enables customers to store, secure, and distribute all of their artifacts, binaries, packages, containers, dependencies and more for use throughout their software supply chain. Centralizing their organizations' software assets streamlines Ops and gives teams a single source of truth that’s convenient, fast, and easy to monitor. Cloudsmith’s global Package Delivery Network and 410 points of presence ensure lightning-fast delivery wherever your customers or developers are.

Customers use Cloudsmith to reduce software supply chain risk by evaluating all software artifacts for threat signals and leveraging these insights to automate actions based on known vulnerabilities, license information, and customer-defined rules. And when a compromised OSS package is discovered, Cloudsmith customers can act quickly, searching for compromised artifacts with actionable insights that remediate risk and exposure. Cloudsmith is ideal for organizations interested in securing their software supply chain and who use multiple languages, frameworks, and tools. Organizations with less complex tech stacks can still benefit from a fully managed solution for artifact storage and distribution.

Focus

The modern software landscape is exploding in complexity, and almost none of it is controlled by the organizations using it. Developers need to deliver value faster and further. The only way to achieve this is to depend on developers, software, and services outside the organization’s control. Distributing software at scale compounds the complexity, and the push for speed of delivery results in sacrifices to quality and safety, much like racing in the dark with no seatbelt.

Artifact management is the heart of software supply chain security. The only way to secure your software supply chain is to have one centralized store of all your software assets, against which you can apply controls and generate insights. Cloudsmith solves trust problems for software organizations at scale through a global single source of truth for all software everywhere, powered by the best artifact management in the cloud, with in-built knowledge and control.

Background

Cloudsmith began its journey as artifact management built by former software engineers with a strong focus on security. Since then, Cloudsmith has grown into a fully managed, cloud-native software supply chain management platform that can provide isolation from public upstreams, with full observability, provenance, and control over software artifacts. 28+ solutions and counting!
