Get early access to Cloudsmith's new Policy Management feature

Mar 22 2023

Cloudsmith is excited to announce that Policy Management is in early access for customers. With Policy Management, you can automatically quarantine packages based on insights about your software artifacts, ensuring compliance and reducing software supply chain risk.

Currently, customers can set license policies and vulnerability policies.

License Policies

License policies enable you to meet organizational compliance on what licenses can or cannot be included within your software supply chain.

With license policies, you can define a set of licenses not allowed for use within your Cloudsmith organization. When a package contains one of those licenses, the package will be automatically quarantined and unavailable for download. You can also automatically quarantine any package with an unknown license.

Vulnerability Policies

You can reduce your software supply chain risk by implementing vulnerability policies for your artifacts.

With vulnerability policies, you can set a vulnerability threshold for what is allowable within your Cloudsmith organization and the action you want to automate when a package exceeds that threshold.

For example, you could define a vulnerability policy where any package with a critical vulnerability will be automatically quarantined and unavailable for download. Or you could set up a vulnerability policy where any package with a medium vulnerability gets flagged and reported. Or, you could combine the two policies and quarantine packages with critical vulnerabilities but only flag packages with medium and high vulnerabilities.
