JFrog and ServiceNow: Accelerate Trusted Software Application Development

Today’s software organizations can’t make tradeoffs between speed and trust – you need both to succeed. But juggling them is tough. Moving too fast can lead to security vulnerabilities and compliance issues, while moving too slow means your competitors beat you to market.

This tension creates friction that slows down every release, a problem that is rooted in your software pipeline. It’s a complex web of tools, people, and processes that often aren’t aligned, forcing you to spend too many hours with manual handoffs and fragmented data.

Operating in Silos: Why Your Software Releases Are Stalling

Imagine this: You’ve just finished a major feature. You submit your build, and it disappears into a black box. Four days later, DevOps pings you with an urgent request for a couple SBOMs that you didn’t include in your build. You spend hours scouring old logs and chasing people down, only to be warned that without your SBOMs, the application is out of compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act, which means that it can’t ship according to policy. The build stalls, your day is ruined, and you’re pulled away from your real job: writing code.

Breaking down these silos is a challenge that can’t be solved by a single vendor, which is why JFrog and ServiceNow are partnering to integrate two market-leading foundational platforms. By linking our platforms, we allow organizations to automate GRC (governance, risk, compliance) with the same principles that transformed agile software development, ushering in the next evolution of DevOps: DevGovOps.

JFrog and ServiceNow: Bridging the DevOps Divide

The new integration between JFrog AppTrust and ServiceNow DevOps Change Velocity eliminates the friction from manual, disjointed workflows. It connects two foundational platforms: JFrog, the system of record for the software supply chain, and ServiceNow, the system of record for enterprise workflows. This means that as you code, JFrog and ServiceNow manage and automate the links between SDLC evidence, unified policies, and change management approval workflows.

Key Capabilities:

• Automated Evidence Collection: The solution automatically gathers all necessary SDLC evidence (such as security scans or approvals) and sends it directly to ServiceNow. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces human error, and creates an immutable audit trail.
• Faster, Evidence-Based Approvals: Approvers in ServiceNow are no longer reliant on fragmented data. They have a complete, contextualized view of all SDLC evidence in one place, enabling them to make faster and more informed change management decisions.
• Accelerated, Trusted Delivery: Once a change is approved in ServiceNow, the decision is automatically passed back to JFrog. This triggers a secure, policy-driven promotion of the application to production, ensuring only compliant and trusted software reaches your customers.

One Integrated Workflow: Fast, Trusted Software Delivery

With the JFrog and ServiceNow integration, your workflow is seamless. When you submit your build, it automatically triggers a secure, policy-driven change request. The DevOps team gets the data they need for auditors without ever needing to ping you. The moment your application is approved, it’s released. You move on to your next task with confidence, knowing everything is handled for you in the background.

Your software development is now in sync – it’s trusted, fast, and secure – exactly the ingredients you need in an AI-driven era of software development.
