Case Study: Nutanix achieves rapid Log4j remediation and security confidence with Sourcegraph

Nutanix fixed Log4j quickly and confidently with Sourcegraph

Nutanix, a large enterprise with a sprawling codebase spread across multiple build systems, artifact managers, and hundreds of repositories, needed to quickly find and remediate Log4j vulnerabilities during the December 2021 security crisis. The challenge was especially complex because the affected dependency could be buried in different source control systems and component branches, making it difficult to confirm where the vulnerability existed.

Using Sourcegraph’s code search and search contexts, Nutanix rapidly identified every instance of Log4j in its codebase, including locating JMSAppender in under five minutes for one fix. With Sourcegraph, Nutanix delivered fully remediated patches to customers in under four days and confidently verified 100% of Log4j instances, improving both response speed and trust in its security remediation process.
