Case Study: Nomura achieves 630% scanning increase with Sonatype

Nomura boosts scanning rates by 630% with Sonatype

Nomura, a leading global financial services company, faced significant challenges in its software development process due to overwhelming manual security tasks and limited visibility into vulnerabilities. These inefficiencies created bottlenecks, consumed developer time with remediation, and made it difficult to proactively manage risks in their highly regulated environment. To address this, Nomura turned to the vendor Sonatype for a solution involving its platform.

Sonatype implemented its Nexus Repository Manager, Repository Firewall, and Lifecycle products to automate and integrate security into Nomura's CI pipelines. This solution delivered a remarkable 630% increase in scanning rates and achieved 91% scanning coverage across thousands of applications. The results included a drastically reduced very high exposure risk of just 1.13%, the scanning of 76 million lines of code, and the creation of a streamlined, secure software supply chain that empowered developers to focus on innovation.
