Geneva-based Sonar has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Tidelift, a provider of software supply chain security solutions that help organizations manage the risk of open source software. The acquisition will extend Sonar’s scope of coverage to include open source libraries, in addition to code written by developers and AI.With more than 90% of software built using open source components, evaluating open source risks is critical to the sustainability and security of organizations’ applications. Tidelift helps improve the health and security of open source by paying the maintainers behind thousands of the world’s most-relied-upon open source projects to follow industry-leading secure software development practices. Paid open source maintainers are 55% more likely to implement critical security and maintenance practices than unpaid maintainers. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it—an internal team or genAI—resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable software. Rooted in the open source community, Sonar’s solutions support over 30 programming languages, frameworks, and infrastructure technologies
