The Trusted Release Model: A Strategic Blueprint for Enterprise Software Delivery

For CISOs, CIOs, and GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) leaders, there is an inherent conflict balancing speed and trust. Businesses need to deliver new features quickly to stay competitive, but this can’t happen at the expense of security, compliance, or quality. To increase development speed while preserving application integrity, leaders must move beyond incremental tool improvements, and adopt a foundationally suitable architectural framework.

JFrog refers to this framework as the Trusted Release Model, an approach that embeds trust, governance, and security directly into high-velocity software delivery pipelines. The Trusted Release Model gives DevOps, Security and GRC leaders a structured, actionable approach to redesign their software delivery processes, with the explicit goal of enabling their organizations to release quality software with both speed and trust.
