Case Study: Open Raven achieves secure open source development with Mend

Open Raven gains full visibility into open source code with Mend and $19.1M-backed security confidence

Open Raven, a cloud native data security platform, needed a software composition analysis (SCA) tool to ensure both open source license compliance and security for its product. As a startup building its development platform from the ground up, it required a solution that would integrate seamlessly into its GitLab CI/CD pipeline without adding complexity or slowing down its developers. They turned to the vendor Mend to find a single tool that could handle both requirements effectively.

By implementing Mend and integrating it directly into their GitLab DevOps pipeline, Open Raven gave developers visibility into open source components without leaving their environment. The solution from Mend allowed them to automatically check code for license issues and vulnerabilities as it was committed, ensuring they ship secure software. This resulted in developers spending more time writing features and adding value, while also providing customers with the assurance that the software they build is secure.
