AI agents are part of the modern development workflow. They write code, review pull requests, generate tests, call tools, interact with MCP servers, and help developers move faster. But behind every useful agent, there is something just as important as the model itself: the context that tells the agent how to behave. That context can…

Secure AI Workflows: The Identity and Access Management (IAM) Checklist

Secure AI Workflows: The Identity and Access Management (IAM) Checklist

July 8, 2026 Mika Lanir, JFrog Technical Writer Sean Pratt, JFrog Director of Product Marketing | 6 min read

AI agents and LLMs are already building, analyzing, and deploying code across your software development lifecycle. As software supply chains become increasingly AI-driven, proactive security and access controls are your only path to success. To effectively govern authentication and permissions without sacrificing development speed, you must update your access management strategies. By securing the AI…

Beyond Tokens SF: Best Ideas of the Evening

Beyond Tokens SF: Best Ideas of the Evening

July 7, 2026 The JFrog Team | 5 min read

AI agents are changing how software gets built, but the infrastructure around them hasn't caught up. Agents burn through tokens on noise. They take actions they shouldn't. Context evaporates between releases. And most delivery pipelines were never designed for the pace and volume of agentic development. On June 11th we brought together developers in San…

Where Severity Scores Go Wrong: “Just Add Prototype Pollution”

Where Severity Scores Go Wrong: “Just Add Prototype Pollution”

July 1, 2026 Tamir Friedman, JFrog Security Researcher Ofri Ouzan, JFrog Security Researcher | 11 min read

At JFrog, our Security Research team continuously monitors and analyzes newly disclosed CVEs across the open-source ecosystem. Throughout our research, we have repeatedly observed cases where the assigned severity score does not accurately reflect a vulnerability's real-world impact or exploitability. In fact, during 2025, JFrog researchers reassessed NVD critical-severity vulnerabilities and concluded that 96% warranted…

How JFrog and NanoClaw are Bringing Software Supply Chain Security to the Age of Autonomous AI

June 24, 2026 Gal Marder, JFrog Chief Strategy Officer | 5 min read

There's a category of security risk that most organizations aren't ready for. It doesn't live in your code repository, your CI pipeline, or your developer laptops. It lives in your runtime, in the autonomous AI agents already running in your environment, extending their own capabilities, and making decisions that no human explicitly approved. This is…

npm v12’s Biggest Security Change: From Implicit to Explicit Trust

npm v12’s Biggest Security Change: From Implicit to Explicit Trust

June 18, 2026 Ofri Ouzan, JFrog Security Researcher Guy Korolevski, JFrog Security Researcher | 14 min read

For years, installing an npm package has meant trusting that every package in the dependency tree will behave as expected. Whether code originated from the npm registry, a Git repository, a remote URL, or an installation script buried deep within a transitive dependency, npm would typically execute or retrieve it automatically during the installation process.…

How to Validate Policy-as-Code Without Breaking Builds (Even When AI Writes the Code)

How to Validate Policy-as-Code Without Breaking Builds (Even When AI Writes the Code)

June 11, 2026 Segev Sharabi, JFrog Senior Product Manager, DevGovOps Roy Goldenberg, JFrog Product Marketing Manager, AppTrust | 6 min read

Picture two realities for the same compliance control reaching production. Reality One: Your AppSec team writes a new rule. An engineer uses Claude Code or Cursor to generate the OPA (Open Policy Agent) Rego policy in minutes. They deploy it. It blocks a legitimate release on a missing context variable, and the on-call engineer routes…
