In the wake of recent events like the SolarWinds hack and the White House executive order on cybersecurity, DevSecOps and security are top-of-mind for most DevOps and security professionals. How to efficiently adapt or adopt a sound DevSecOps practice has become a priority, especially with the U.S. government’s impending mandate requiring software applications to be …
The United States Government equates cybersecurity with national security. That’s the crux of the recent Executive Order that will mandate that not only must software applications be vetted, but there will be upcoming regulations on providing all of the components that make up the software. As section 1 notes: “prevention, detection, assessment, and remediation of …
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 …
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. …

Most modern software today has moved aggressively into using third-party open source dependencies to reduce duplication and accelerate development by using pre-existing code. These dependencies are often built and managed by a distributed team of engineers and while this model of building software has often resulted in faster feature improvement (better feedback loops that help …
“Forewarned is forearmed,” cautions the old proverb, and that truth coined in the 16th century is even more apt for DevSecOps in the 21st. The earlier you know about vulnerabilities, the better you can avoid making them part of your software. That’s the same principle behind a “Shift Left” DevSecOps strategy. Rather than waiting for …
