Cloudsmith is a Belfast-founded, cloud-native artifact management platform that gives engineering teams a single place to store, secure, and distribute software packages and containers across 30+ formats. It acts as a private, fully managed registry with built-in supply chain controls - vulnerability and malware scanning, policy enforcement, quarantine, and global distribution - increasingly positioned around governing the flood of code produced by AI coding agents.
Sonatype is the software supply chain management company behind Nexus Repository and the maintainer of Maven Central, the world's largest repository of open source Java components. Founded in 2008 by core contributors to Apache Maven, it helps developers and enterprises find, manage, and secure the open source code that powers modern software - blocking malicious packages, enforcing policy, and generating software bills of materials (SBOMs) across the development lifecycle.
