Mokara.io Acquired by Polyrhythm to Strengthen Software Supply Chain Security

Polyrhythm Software acquires Mokara.io, extending its software engineering work deeper into the software supply chain with stronger library governance, dependency visibility, and secure delivery practices.

DAYTON, Ohio, May 1, 2025. Polyrhythm Software announced today that it has acquired Mokara.io, expanding the company’s ability to help engineering teams build, verify, and sustain software with stronger control over their supply chain.

Mokara was created to address a persistent problem in modern software work. Teams depend on libraries, build systems, and third-party components they often do not fully understand, verify, or monitor. That problem becomes sharper when software quality, provenance, vulnerability response, and delivery discipline all matter at the same time.

The acquisition gives Polyrhythm a stronger foundation for secure, authoritative software libraries and software supply chain practices. Those practices can be integrated directly into DevOps workflows. The goal is not to slow teams down with another disconnected security process. The goal is to make software risk visible inside the same delivery path teams already use.

That approach aligns with NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework. The framework emphasizes reducing vulnerabilities in released software, addressing root causes, and building practices that improve software supply chain trust. For Polyrhythm, those practices need to live close to engineering work: source control, builds, package selection, vulnerability triage, release review, and sustainment.

Good supply chain work starts with plain facts. What did we use? Where did it come from? Who approved it? Can we rebuild it? Can we patch it? If the team can answer those questions during normal work, security moves faster.

“Software supply chain security should not be a separate theater bolted onto engineering after the fact,” said John Farrier, founder of Polyrhythm Software. “It belongs in the development process, the build process, the release process, and the evidence trail. Mokara gives us another way to help teams move quickly without losing control of what they are shipping.”

Polyrhythm will use Mokara.io to support stronger library governance, vulnerability awareness, dependency visibility, and secure delivery practices. The work is aimed at software teams in complex technical environments. The acquisition aligns with Polyrhythm’s broader focus on software engineering, DevSecOps, secure infrastructure, and systems that need clear evidence behind every release.

For customers, the value is practical: better visibility into software components, cleaner integration with engineering workflows, and stronger confidence that software can be built, reviewed, updated, and maintained without creating hidden risk. Teams should be able to see which packages they use. They should know why those packages were selected, which versions are approved, what vulnerabilities are present, and what decisions have been made about fixes or accepted risk.

“Modern software is assembled as much as it is written,” Farrier said. “That means engineering teams need better control over the pieces they depend on. Mokara helps us bring that control closer to the people actually building and shipping the software.”

Polyrhythm provides software engineering for complex systems where architecture, security, integration, and evidence discipline matter. As Polyrhythm acquires Mokara, the company is extending that approach deeper into the software supply chain and into the daily choices that shape release risk.
