Last month, Datadog announced an interesting and useful new feature they call the Supply-Chain Firewall (SCFW). It offers a real-time scanning approach that identifies vulnerabilities as developers pull packages from public registries like npmjs. It highlights the broader challenge organizations face when securing their software supply chain: managing risk consistently and efficiently at scale.

In a rapidly evolving digital environment, organizations across various sectors—including technology firms, financial services, and manufacturing—rely on effective management of software artifacts to secure their software supply chains The risk of supply chain attacks has intensified, revealing vulnerabilities at every stage of artifact management. Compliance breaches, data leaks, and unvetted code present serious threats, and Cloudsmith aimed to tackle these challenges head-on.

As software complexity advances, understanding what’s happening across every part of your software supply chain becomes crucial. You need to see where artifacts are used, how secure they are, and whether they meet compliance standards. The ability to capture this is known as observability. Observability goes beyond data collection to provide essential insights that help teams understand, troubleshoot, and enhance complex systems.

Cloudsmith, your friendly neighbourhood Package Management startup, is a fully managed 24/7 Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for securely storing and sharing assets, packages and containers. We have distributed millions of packages for innovative companies around the world and specifically help with: development, for internal build pipelines and dependencies; deployment, for delivery pipelines to servers; and distribution, for sharing software to entitled users worldwide.

Our main office is in Belfast, UK, but our approach to software development and the Cloud allows people to contribute from all over the world.

Built for Engineers, by Engineers:

  • For Dev: Control the dependencies for your build/development pipelines. Share libraries privately with your teams, and develop your software securely.
  • For Ops: Deploy the artefacts for your delivery pipelines. Promote through delivery stages, and ignore unstable upstreams that will break you.
  • For Vendors: Distribute licensed software to customers, anywhere in the world. Define private access via entitlements, to ensure only entitled users get it.

The new standard in Package Management and Software Distribution.
