DevOps Double Header: Hackers & SBOMS @ JFrog Sunnyvale Office

Join us in-person at the JFrog Sunnyvale Swamp for a summer DevOps Double Header event! Learn from two JFrog All Star speakers about securing your software supply chain!

Talk Title #1: Hackers Know What You Have Running In Production. Do You? with Melissa McKay, JFrog Developer Advocate

Over 80 percent of code used in enterprise applications comes from open source dependencies, but how much attention goes towards the provenance and security of those packages? And in the pursuit of accelerated software development, developers are leveraging more and more libraries, so how do you prevent defects or malicious payloads from compromising the security of your production applications? Securing the software supply chain is a huge undertaking for the entire tech industry. As an example of how to address production security issues, we'll explore a practical use case of applying blue/green deployments to mitigate a security issue.

Talk Title #2: Why “SBOM” Isn’t a 4-Letter Word with Bill Manning, JFrog Solutions Engineering Manager

When the White House's cybersecurity executive order from May 2021 was issued, the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) graduated from being a "nice to have" to a "must-have" when developing and deploying secure software. The SBOM shows which parts make up a software program and how it was assembled. This lets you check for security and compliance problems at every stage and with every component. In this talk, we'll define the SBOM, misconceptions that exist around the SBOM, insights and best practices on SBOM creation and usage, and more.
