When planning our 2021 roadmap this time last year, one of the most prominent themes was security. Although we’re not solely in the security category, as a fully managed service in the heart of our customers’ software supply chains, it was always paramount for what we do and still is. Ensuring the integrity and privacy of customer data is our top priority.

Software quality has been a topic and an area of interest since the dawn of software itself. And as software evolved so did the techniques and approaches to assuring its high quality.

If you read my last blog post, you’re already ahead of the game. You know that in May of 2021, the Biden Administration announced Executive Order (EO) 14028: Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, which mandates each federal agency to adapt to today’s continuously changing threat environment.

The JFrog Security research team continuously monitors popular open source software (OSS) repositories with our automated tooling, and reports any vulnerabilities or malicious packages discovered to repository maintainers and the wider community. Most recently we disclosed 11 malicious packages in the PyPI repository, a discovery that shows attacks are getting more sophisticated in their approach.

Security operations teams and IT operations teams share a lot in common. They have both spent the past decade grappling with systems that grow more complex every year and figuring out ways to handle ever-larger volumes of data. They also both face pressure to identify and remediate problems as quickly as possible – ideally, in real time. And they are supposed to do it all without breaking the bank.
