In our previous round-up of security research for 2023, we mentioned our surprise at the large volume of 29,000 vulnerabilities that were reported two years ago.

There is an increasing need for traceability and attestation of the actions taken as software moves across the SDLC.

JFrog uses open source tools such as Kubernetes, Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA), and Prometheus to develop its cloud development infrastructure and ensure tight integration with the three leading cloud providers AWS, GCP, and Azure. Let’s explore how JFrog cloud deployments leverage our cloud-native architecture to provide enhanced security and management capabilities for DevOps while ensuring high availability and a transparent user experience for developers.
