Sonatype announced expanded language coverage within Nexus Lifecycle to include Conan (C/C++), Composer (PHP), and RubyGems (Ruby), including the ability to create and contextually enforce policies.

By continuing to increase support for the most popular component formats, Nexus Lifecycle is helping millions of developers and security professionals to automatically govern open source hygiene across every phase of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

With the addition of C/C++, PHP, and Ruby, Nexus Lifecycle now supports 27 programming languages and package formats, further meeting the diverse needs of enterprise development teams.

“Organizations keep software applications safe, not by chance, but by preparation, and in many cases supported by automation. But, automation without accuracy can be detrimental, giving a false sense of security,” said Brian Fox, CTO of Sonatype. “Developers need broad and accurate component intelligence they can trust for proper security hygiene. By extending our coverage to even more languages, we’re providing our customers with more reliability and confidence, while increasing productivity.”

Organizations using Nexus Lifecycle and C/C++, PHP, and Ruby will now be able to:

- Create custom security, license, and architectural policies and contextually enforce those policies across every stage of the SDLC

- Select safer components throughout the software supply chain, and reduce risk

- Automatically enforce policies and view expert remediation guidance in the tools developers use every day

Sonatype remains committed to creating the most universally applicable, polyglot software supply chain automation tools. This is just one of many releases dedicated to expanding the languages with native support across the Nexus Platform.
