Case Study: FINOS achieves secure, compliant open source development with Mend

FINOS automates code validation and speeds secure development with Mend

FINOS, the Fintech Open Source Foundation, faced the challenge of promoting open source adoption in the highly regulated financial industry while ensuring stringent security and license compliance. Their Open Developer Platform needed to guarantee that all code was free of vulnerabilities and met strict policies without slowing down the agile development process of its contributors. To solve this, FINOS partnered with vendor Mend to manage their open source ecosystem.

By implementing Mend, FINOS automated the enforcement of policies for security, licenses, and code quality. The solution automatically blocks non-compliant code, saving developers significant time that was previously spent on manual validation. As a result, FINOS has gained full control and visibility, achieving significant buy-in from the financial industry and establishing itself as a trusted hub for secure, efficient, and innovative open source development.
