Software is at the very core of our lives and our world. From how we bank, shop, socialise and now even how we work. In order to keep up with the demand, development teams use components of pre-made software (open source) to build software applications - like using pre-made bricks to build a house instead of writing everything from scratch. In 2021, 1.5 trillion open source components will be downloaded and not every component is secure. At Sonatype, we make sure those open source components are safe to help companies build safer software - fast. Every company in the world builds software this way - the opportunity is huge.
