Nexus Lifecycle

Eliminate open source risk across the entire SDLC.

It’s no secret. Developers use open source ­— in fact, 85% of a modern application is comprised of open source components and unfortunately one in ten open source component downloads contain a known security vulnerability. Given this inherent risk, how do modern software teams select the best components, govern open source usage, and still deliver at DevOps speed? With automated open source governance.

Nexus Lifecycle empowers developers and security professionals to make safer open source choices across the SDLC, ensuring organizations continue to innovate with less risk.

Empower developers to select safer components.

Lifecycle’s chrome browser extension lets developers know if an open source component is vulnerable when selecting from public repositories.

Control open source risk without switching tools.

We integrate with the most popular pipeline and development tools you’re already using, so you don’t have to waste any of your time adapting to new tools or processes.

Speed things up with instant feedback in source code management.

Integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian Bitbucket automatically generate pull requests for components that violate open source policies.

Lifecycle compares the difference on any active branch and, if bad components or vulnerabilities will be introduced in a pull/merge request, it highlights the exact line(s) of code that brought them in, along with detailed recommendations on how to fix the issues.

Dive deeper when you want more information.

Sometimes you don’t want to go the automated remediation route — we get it. If you choose not to rely on our policy engine to make decisions automatically, we give you all the knowledge you need to make the most informed decision to efficiently resolve any open source component or dependency issue manually.

Compare and evaluate components using our enhanced comparison functionality to better identify ideal component versions for your project.
