Case Study: Leading Life Sciences Company achieves 70% reduction in developer research time with Sonatype Lifecycle

Breaking Down Silos to Improve Open Source Security and Developer Efficiency

Leading Life Sciences Company, a U.S.-based life sciences manufacturer, was struggling with siloed workflows and open source security risks that forced developers to spend excessive time researching library upgrades and workarounds. The challenge was compounded by disconnected Development, Security, and DevOps processes, making it hard to manage vulnerabilities proactively. Sonatype Lifecycle was chosen to help address these OSS security and efficiency issues.

Sonatype implemented Sonatype Lifecycle integrated into the company’s existing GitHub workflows, creating a more collaborative and streamlined approach to Software Composition Analysis and risk management. The result was a 70% reduction in developer research time, higher morale, better cross-team collaboration, and stronger proactive open source security across the organization.
