Sonatype Repository Firewall

Sonatype Repository Firewall is the first line of defense for controlling the open-source components allowed into your Software Development Lifecycle.

  • Prevent Malicious Components - from entering your software supply chain

  • Automatically Evaluate - every new component against your custom governance policies

  • Automatically Quarantine - components before they are available in your artifact repository

Sonatype's IQ Server powers the Repository Firewall. The integration connects to your artifact repository to oversee the enforcement of your open-source consumption policies.

See License and Features to learn about our solutions.

Paths to Getting Started

The Repository Firewall license is available as a fully managed Cloud solution or a self-hosted deployment where you manage the service.

  • Firewall Cloud

    Firewall Cloud reduces time-to-value by skipping the time needed to provision hardware and the costs of managing the self-hosted service. Only one quick step set up your tenant and IdP (identify provider) before jumping into protecting your infrastructure.

    Getting started with Sonatype Cloud

  • Seft-Hosted

    The Self-Hosted solution deploys as you want; as a single-node or a multi-regional, highly available service without restrictions. Built on the same platform as Lifecycle and SBOM Manager to scale with your organizational requirements.
