Case Study: Trilliant achieves faster OSS risk detection and automated DevSecOps governance with Sonatype Nexus Lifecycle

Trilliant and Nexus Lifecycle Helping Utility Companies Improve Smart Cities

Trilliant, a Cary, NC company that builds communication platforms for smart grids and smart cities, relied heavily on open source components to scale innovation. As its customer base and device endpoints grew, Trilliant found its legacy OSS-vulnerability tool produced noisy alerts, required extensive manual review, and sat outside the development lifecycle—slowing remediation and blocking a shift to DevSecOps.

Trilliant replaced that workflow with Sonatype Nexus Lifecycle, embedding precise OSS component intelligence and custom governance policies into developers’ IDEs and the CI/CD pipeline (including SonarQube). The automated, integrated solution surfaced actionable risks earlier, guided remediation, reduced rework and costs, and improved software quality and regulatory assurance—making security a built-in part of Trilliant’s SDLC.
