Bahwan CyberTek, Sonatype partner to mitigate security vulnerabilities in open-source software

Security

Bahwan CyberTek (BCT), a specialist in digital transformation, have partnered with Sonatype, a leading player in open source governance and DevSecOps automation, to help customers mitigate risks at every stage of their software development lifecycle (SDLC)

BCT will leverage Sonatype’s Nexus platform, to help its customers build open-source risk policies and effectively mitigate such risks.

Open source components used in applications contain several known security vulnerabilities, often placing the entire development process and resultant applications at high risk. Sonatype’s platform, powered by Nexus Intelligence, a machine learning engine that analyses millions of open source components and provides continuous intelligence to automate and enhance application security, will enable BCT to help better protect its customers from this growing risk.

This is done by securing the perimeter at every stage and continuously monitoring for new risks, based on the organisation’s open-source policies. This partnership comes at the right time as BCT moves aggressively to expand its digital transformation capabilities. It allows BCT to enhance its security layer and offer 360-degree application security and support to customers. Customers across verticals can now circumvent security vulnerabilities, innovate faster and automatically control risk during the software development lifecycle. 

Wai Man Yau, general manager international, Sonatype, said, “Bahwan CyberTek’s unrivalled expertise in digital transformation, especially as it relates to cloud-native application security, made the decision to partner with them a no-brainer.

“We are thrilled to have them as part of the Sonatype partner ecosystem, and we look forward to working closely with their team to help enterprises realise the power of the Nexus platform and leverage it for achieving application security.”

S Viswanathan, executive vice-president of Bahwan CyberTek, said, “Our partnership with Sonatype is perfectly aligned with our strong focus on security for our customers. It also comes at a time when digital has become the norm and organisations are increasingly seeking to implement end-to-end process automation. Sonatype Nexus also complements our range of specialised IP and services offerings. Our association with Sonatype strengthens our ability to consistently deliver stakeholder value, without compromising security.”
