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

WhiteSource Helps Open Raven Develop Secure Software

Open Raven is a cloud-native data security platform that helps organizations prevent breaches caused by cloud sprawl and dark data. As an early-stage company backed with $19.1M in funding, Open Raven needed a single software composition analysis (SCA) tool that handled both open-source license compliance and security vulnerabilities, integrated seamlessly with their GitLab CI/CD pipeline, and added minimal overhead so developers could stay focused on building features.

Open Raven integrated Mend into GitLab to provide developer-focused SCA that runs in the native dev environment, checks dependencies on commit, enforces compatible non-restrictive licenses, and flags known vulnerabilities early. The result is full visibility into open-source components and versions, fewer security issues shipped to customers, and faster, more secure development without sacrificing developer productivity.
