Barry de Waal, Chief Executive of Strategy and Sales, 9th BIT commented: “Adding Sonatype to our vendor portfolio is a major boost for 9th BIT as Sonatype is such an innovative leader in the software supply chain automation domain. We are confident that the combination of Sonatype’s unique technology with our extensive, in-field experience in delivering automated software solutions will prove to be a win-win for both of us.”
Wai Man Yau, Vice President International, Sonatype says: “Modern software development companies across the globe recognise the need to automate security early in their software supply chains to accelerate time to market. We’re excited to be partnering with 9th BIT to provide these solutions to organisations in Africa.”
Nick Alexander, Systems Architect, Discovery Health says: “We needed constant monitoring and notifications of open source vulnerabilities in our applications. We strongly encouraged developers to use the Nexus Lifecycle plug-in within their IDEs to identify security vulnerabilities and license risks early, minimising re-work that might occur if the issues were discovered later in the life cycle. That’s what the Nexus platform delivered.”
