Enterprises are racing to secure and control their software supply chain as software threats and compliance pressures mount. Over 90% of a typical enterprise software application is sourced from open-source and third-party code, making binary artifact security as critical as source code scanning.

It’s cloud-native platform has proven to be the most scalable solution for providing a standardized, compliance-driven approach to artifact management across hundreds of developer teams using disparate formats, programming languages, and technologies.

This new investment will help us to keep scaling up to meet the needs of the world’s largest and most complex organizations.”

Morgan Gerlak, Partner at TCV said, “We believe in Cloudsmith’s vision to become the backbone of modern software supply chains, Cloudsmith is showing why artifact management is a crucial component of the DevOps toolkit, enabling enterprises to better control, secure, and distribute software. We’re excited to support the company in its next phase of growth.”

It’s Belfast headquarters remains the heart of its global operations, with expansion plans across engineering, product, sales, and customer success to support its growing enterprise customer base.

Cloudsmith is one of the leading software companies founded in Northern Ireland, strengthening its tech ecosystem and attracting top-tier talent.
