The Tide of AI – Surfing the Tsunami of Binaries

March 2, 2026 Shlomi Ben Haim, CEO & Co-founder, JFrog

9 min read

AI is creating an overwhelming surge of digital artifacts and software components. The key to success is learning how to ride, secure, govern, and manage that wave - rather than being overwhelmed by it. This weekend, I asked my team to watch Chasing Mavericks. Jay Moriarity (not J-Frog, but stay with me) was one of…

Native Nix Support in Artifactory: The Binary Cache for the Enterprise

February 25, 2026 Tom Arie, JFrog Product Manager | 6 min read

The "works on my machine" era is officially over. Nix is changing the way we think about software by treating packages as functional, immutable values, ensuring that a build works exactly the same way every time, on every machine. But while Nix excels on a local laptop, scaling that level of reproducibility across a global…

JFrog Takes Software Resilience to the Next Level with 99.99% Uptime SLA

February 24, 2026 Sean Pratt, Senior Manager, JFrog | 5 min read

Software delivery is no longer a back-office function; it’s the heartbeat of the modern enterprise. While a 99.9% uptime SLA for essential software delivery services works for many, the acceleration of software velocity has made the "three-nines" benchmark a possible liability. For high performing software organizations, and those delivering critical services, nine hours of annual…

February 23, 2026 Yoav Landman, CTO & Co-founder, JFrog | 7 min read

Listen to a NotebookLM podcast version of the blog:   When Anthropic announced Claude Code’s new security scanning capabilities, following the announcement of OpenAI's Aardvark, it marked an important moment for the industry. For the first time, expert-level security review is becoming embedded directly into the act of writing code. Subtle, context-dependent vulnerabilities can now…

The Need for Clean in the AI Era

The Need for Clean in the AI Era

February 19, 2026 Sean Pratt, Senior Manager, JFrog | 4 min read

In the AI era, software and new models are being born at a breakneck pace—but they’re also bringing a lot of "baggage" into the world. While AI coding agents are busy accelerating innovation, they’re also excellent at generating a massive byproduct: “digital dust.” Between obsolete releases, orphaned dependencies, and massive model versions, your repository may…

Why I’m Finally Ditching YUM for DNF in 2026 (And You Should, Too)

Why I’m Finally Ditching YUM for DNF in 2026 (And You Should, Too)

February 19, 2026 Asaf Waizman, JFrog RVP, Solution Engineering | 5 min read

If you’ve been managing Red Hat-based systems as long as I have, yum install is likely hardcoded into your muscle memory. For decades, YUM (Yellowdog Updater, Modified) served as the backbone of RPM Linux-based distributions, getting us through countless server setups and late-night patches. But the era of YUM is officially over. With RHEL 9,…

Vulnerability or Not a Vulnerability?

Vulnerability or Not a Vulnerability?

February 16, 2026 Jonathan Sar Shalom, JFrog Director of Threat Research | 5 min read

Disputed CVEs: It’s Not a Bug, It’s a Debate Every CVE starts as a vulnerability claim, but not every claim ends in agreement. Between researchers racing to disclose vulnerabilities, and open-source maintainers guarding the stability and reputation of their projects, a gray zone appears where “vulnerability” becomes a matter of debate. This is the story…

Giving OpenClaw The Keys to Your Kingdom? Read This First

February 2, 2026 Natan Nehorai, JFrog Application Security Researcher Ofri Ouzan, JFrog Security Researcher | 9 min read

In security, we never assume perfection. We assume zero-trust, and we design controls to limit the blast radius. That mindset is missing from many OpenClaw deployments today. It is almost impossible not to hear about the new personal AI assistant, OpenClaw (formerly known as ClawdBot and MoltBot). Since its release in November 2025, it has…
