Why We Invest in the Community

Modern software is built on open source, but securing it is still too hard.

Software supply chains are complex, distributed, and often lack visibility.
That creates risk for everyone, from individual developers to global enterprises.

We believe security shouldn’t be limited to those who can afford it.

That’s why we actively support open source projects and community-driven teams with access to the same tools used by enterprise organizations.

The Challenge

Open source powers today’s software, but also introduces:

  • Unknown dependencies across projects
  • Limited visibility into vulnerabilities
  • Manual and fragmented SBOM management
  • Increasing compliance pressure (e.g. EU CRA)

Without proper tooling, even experienced teams struggle to understand and secure their own supply chain.

Our Approach

We provide a centralized platform to:

  • Generate and manage SBOMs
  • Identify vulnerabilities and license risks
  • Track dependencies across projects
  • Securely share SBOM data with collaborators

All in one system of record designed for real-world workflows, not spreadsheets and emails.
