Case Study: Seagate Technology achieves full visibility over open source and centralized OSS security with Mend

Seagate Uses Mend Repository Integrations to Gain Full Visibility Over Open Source

Seagate Technology, a four-decade leader in data storage, expanded from closed-source HDD products into cloud-based services and open-source software (OSS), creating a need for a centralized Software Composition Analysis (SCA) program. With diverse technology stacks from acquisitions and teams using Bitbucket, GitLab and GitHub, Seagate’s Product Security Office needed full visibility across product lines, enforceable OSS and license policies, benchmarking to track security over time, and automated due-diligence reporting.

Seagate deployed Mend SCA to overlay its decentralized landscape, using seamless repo integrations, configurable scanning across repos and CI/CD pipelines, and JIRA ticketing for automated developer notifications. Mend’s central reporting gave executive- and product-line visibility and benchmarking, simplified vulnerability and license management, and scaled with Seagate as adoption grew—resulting in improved risk management, automated workflows, and measurable security improvements across the organization.
