Software supply chains are mission-critical for digital businesses, and as global conditions accelerate the growth in contactless interactions and transactions, many organizations are reviewing how to solve the challenge of scaling the volume and velocity of their software development and release processes to meet the digital demand. The latest JFrog Platform release delivers a rich payload of new capabilities to scale and secure the software supply chain for digital businesses.

The simplest way to ensure the safety of all the open source (OSS) components used by your teams and sites, is with a software composition analysis (SCA) tool. You need an automated and reliable way to manage and keep track of your open source usage. With JFrog Xray, you can set up vulnerability and license compliance scanning built into your software development lifecycle (SDLC).

NeuraLegion’s VP Oliver Moradov takes us through how you can use JFrog and NeuraLegion to automate AppSec testing in your pipelines. The days of long release cycles are well and truly behind us — it is simply not feasible in our agile development world, with developers delivering software and more features at an unprecedented scale and speed. With DevOps, we have multiple development teams running multiple concurrent builds, which is great, but security testing has not kept up.

The npm Registry is vulnerable for supply chain impersonation attacks. Make sure you create npm scoped packages and force exclude patterns.

When it comes to productivity, agility, and efficiency - continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are great. When it comes to ensuring cybersecurity, they leave a lot to be desired. In fact, and especially given the popularity of CI/CD pipelines now, securing continuous environments might turn into the most important security challenge of the next decade.

With so many esteemed adversaries competing in the same DevSecOps space, winning the “Best DevSecOps Solution” award feels even more special. We’re very grateful to the community and the DevOps Dozen2 judges who voted for JFrog Xray in this extremely tough category.

The SolarWinds hack, which has affected high-profile Fortune 500 companies and large U.S. federal government agencies, has put the spotlight on software development security — a critical issue for the DevOps community and for JFrog. At a fundamental level, if the code released via CI/CD pipelines is unsafe, all other DevOps benefits are for naught.

Earlier this year, we launched ChartCenter, our newest community platform to help Kubernetes developers find Helm charts. This new free Helm central repository was built with chart immutability  in mind— meaning every version of a Helm chart and every version in ChartCenter will always be available even if the original source goes down.
