JFrog Recognized as a Leader by Gartner®

The Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security is an independent analyst research report that evaluates qualifying vendors across two dimensions: Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. It covers how each vendor approaches the full software supply chain security lifecycle based on Gartner-defined list of evaluation criteria as well as mandatory and optional features.

When you submit the JFrog form, you’ll receive a link to download the full PDF report. It includes Gartner’s methodology, vendor analysis, market definition, and guidance on how to evaluate and select solutions based on your organization’s needs.

Gartner places vendors in the Leaders quadrant when they execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.

Being placed in the Leaders Quadrant in the category’s inaugural year means Gartner assessed JFrog as having mature offerings that meet market demand and
have demonstrated the vision necessary to sustain their market position as
requirements evolve. The hallmark of Leaders is that they focus on and invest in their offerings to the point where they lead the market and can affect its overall direction. As a result, Leaders can become the vendors to watch as you try to understand how new market offerings might evolve.

Leaders for SSCS trend toward innovative methods for third-party software risk protection. They offer a full SBOM life cycle management product, full
contextualization of findings within an organization’s ecosystem, and developer-enabling controls that allow for SSCS to scale. Leaders in the SSCS market have also made large investments in AI supply chain security.

Leaders typically respond to a wide market audience by supporting broad market requirements. However, they may fail to meet the specific needs of vertical markets or other more specialized segments.

The Gartner evaluation criteria for the Software Supply Chain Security Magic Quadrant™ covers several dimensions across both axes. On Ability to Execute, they assess product/service capability and quality, overall viability of the vendor, sales execution and pricing, market responsiveness, marketing execution, customer experience, and operations. On Completeness of Vision, they look at market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, offering strategy, business model, vertical/industry strategy, innovation, and geographic strategy.

The full methodology is detailed in the report itself. We encourage you to read it in full, as the criteria Gartner uses may be the same ones you use when evaluating any vendor in this space.

JFrog provides end-to-end visibility and control across the entire software supply chain, from the moment a developer delivers a prompt, pulls an open source dependency through build, test, packaging, distribution, and to production deployment.

Key capabilities include: JFrog Curation, which blocks malicious packages, license violations, and high-risk dependencies before they enter your environment; JFrog Artifactory, the universal artifact repository and single source of truth for all binaries across every language and package type; JFrog Xray, for CVE and license compliance scanning; JFrog Advanced Security (JAS), which adds deep contextual analysis, secrets detection, IaC misconfiguration scanning, and SAST across your SDLC; and Runtime Security, to detect and respond to threats discovered in production.

Because everything flows through a single platform, security teams get a complete bill of materials (SBOM), traceable artifact lineage, and automated policy enforcement — without requiring developers to change how they work.

Yes! And you may already be further along than you think. Artifactory is the foundation of the JFrog platform. If you’re using it today, you have the single source of truth you need in place to deliver a trust layer for your entire SDLC.

The Gartner evaluation was based on our JFrog Software Supply Chain
Platform which includes JFrog Curation (proactive blocking of malicious packages and high-risk dependencies before they enter your environment), JFrog Xray (security scanning and CVE analysis), JFrog Advanced Security (secrets detection, contextual reachability analysis, and SAST), and JFrog Runtime Security. If you’re not yet using all of these capabilities, your account team can show you what closing those gaps looks like on your existing deployment; without rearchitecting anything.

From JFrog’s perspective, a few things distinguish our approach: we cover the full binary lifecycle from a single platform rather than stitching together point solutions (including 60+ technology types); JFrog Curation proactively blocks malicious packages, license violations, and high-risk dependencies at the point of ingestion, before they ever enter your development environment, which is a fundamentally different security approach than scanning for problems after the fact; our security scanning provides contextual reachability analysis that dramatically reduces false positive rates; and with 6,600+ enterprise customers and 15+ years of production deployments, the platform has been stress-tested at a scale that vendors have a hard time matching.
