Case Study: Trimble achieves global open-source risk visibility and rapid remediation with Mend

Trimble Uses Mend to Monitor Open Source Globally

Trimble, a global industrial technology company with about 3,000 developers, needed clear visibility into the open source components used across its SaaS, on‑premises software and hardware products to assess licensing compliance and security risk. As part of a company‑wide cybersecurity initiative, Trimble required a solution that could be queried programmatically and enable developers to own secure coding practices, so the company standardized on Mend and rolled it out globally.

Mend gives Trimble programmatic visibility into open source risk, one‑click remediation for developers and centralized metrics for security teams, helping operationalize software risk across the lifecycle. Trimble performs roughly 30,000 Mend scans per month and remediated more than 330,000 alerts in the past year; the platform also supports due diligence for acquisitions, cross‑team collaboration on high‑use libraries, and language analytics—freeing security teams to prioritize critical issues and helping preserve customer trust.
