JFrog Connect Enables Development-to-Device, Secure Workflows with Vulnerability & Compliance Analysis for IoT and Linux Edge Devices
Bangalore : JFrog Ltd. (“JFrog”) (NASDAQ: FROG), the Liquid Software company and creators of the JFrog DevOps Platform, today introduced JFrog Connect, a new solution designed to help developers update, manage, monitor, and secure remote Linux & IoT devices at scale. Available immediately, JFrog Connect ushers in a new era of software automation, traceability, and security to the world of connected devices via a modern DevOps platform. A fully integrated part of the JFrog Platform, JFrog Connect empowers companies to manage one to hundreds of thousands of devices using a consistent operational model and intuitive user interface across cloud, on-premises, and multi-cloud deployments.
“The massively distributed nature of edge/IoT expands the enterprise attack surface, and also exacerbates operational, cross-functional software update workflow challenges,” said Yoav Landman, Co-founder and CTO, JFrog. “One of the main reasons for that, is that updating edge devices is often siloed from a modern software supply chain. JFrog Connect, integrated with the JFrog Platform, effectively helps companies manage automatic, continuous delivery of secure software updates from developers’ keystrokes to any distributed edge or fleet of connected things, while fortifying their software supply chain against emerging attack vectors.”
As increasing numbers of enterprises deploy IoT-based solutions to experience the benefits of edge data collection and real-time processing, we believe it’s important to understand that doing so also introduces new entry points for malicious packages and cybersecurity attacks – particularly since IoT devices often run on unreliable and vulnerable networks that can’t be trusted. A recent analyst survey found developers rank security 46% (39% in 2020) and deployment 31% (23% in 2020) among their top three concerns, along with the need for additional integrations with complementary technologies and systems. Additionally, lack of a reliable, secure, IoT management solution can result in expensive product recalls, service outages, unnecessary site visits, and more.
Fully integrated with the JFrog Platform, JFrog Connect, enables developers to automate DevSecOps activities with deeply integrated best practices and continuous governance across the entire software development lifecycle using a unified solution – across cloud, on-premises, or hybrid instances – which reduces deployment time and operational pain.
