Case Study: Leading Consumer Transaction Technology Providing Company achieves automated open-source security and faster deployments with Mend

How a Leading Provider of Consumer Transaction Technologies Enabled Open Source Software Security and Compliance Management for Customers

A leading global business news and media organization was using open source components across hundreds of projects and multiple languages but lacked a cohesive, automated way to track them. Manual tracking consumed R&D and security resources, caused development delays, and left applications exposed to security and compliance risks.

The company integrated WhiteSource’s automated open source management—native plugins, a GitHub scanner and agents—into its CI/build tools across 500+ projects (4,000+ libraries) and went live in under two months. Plugins run multiple times a day to detect and block noncompliant components, send real-time alerts, suggest fixes from a comprehensive vulnerability database, and expose data via the WhiteSource REST API to a custom interface used by 100+ users, resulting in continuous tracking, faster remediation and significantly fewer manual reviews.
