Case Study: Large Financial Institution achieves stronger OSS security and 36% faster remediation with Sonatype

Driving Security, Speed, and Collaboration with Sonatype Lifecycle

A Large Financial Institution in New Zealand needed to modernize its technology ecosystem while improving open source software security, developer efficiency, and compliance across 1,400 technology professionals. It partnered with Sonatype and used Sonatype Lifecycle, Sonatype Repository Firewall, and Sonatype Nexus Repository to better manage OSS risk and support secure development.

Sonatype implemented integrated security controls across Jenkins pipelines, developer tools, and centralized build templates, helping shift security left and reduce manual compliance work. The results included a 50% increase in OSS scan coverage, a 36% reduction in mean time to remediate vulnerabilities, a 10% increase in app onboarding, and an industry-leading 21 vulnerabilities per application, far below the benchmark of 50.
