The SCA market is young - leaving everyone wrestling with a critical question: is it a security-centric, developer-centric, or a legal-centric endeavor? At Sonatype, we believe it's all of the above.
Sonatype has raised an $80 million round of growth financing led by TPG Capital to fuel global growth requirements as automated open source governance goes mainstream.
Governance has been an evil word for software developers but new approaches unlock massive gains in productivity, reductions in cost, improvements in quality.
