Total Economic Impact Study: JFrog Unifies and Accelerates the Secure Software Supply Chain from Code to AI

Key Terms

software supply chain technical

The software supply chain is the network of code, tools, services and vendors that companies use to build, update and run their applications—like the chain of parts and suppliers that go into making a car. Investors care because problems anywhere in that chain—bugs, outages, or cyberattacks—can disrupt operations, increase costs, harm reputation and trigger regulatory or financial consequences that affect a company’s value.

devops technical

DevOps is a way of working that combines software development and IT operations to improve how technology systems are built, tested, and maintained. It emphasizes collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement to deliver updates quickly and reliably. For investors, understanding DevOps can signal a company’s ability to innovate faster and respond more effectively to market changes.

devsecops technical

DevSecOps is the practice of building security checks into the whole software creation and delivery process instead of treating security as a separate step at the end. For investors, it matters because products that find and fix vulnerabilities earlier tend to ship faster, cost less to maintain, and carry lower risk of damaging breaches or regulatory fines — much like installing quality and safety checks on a car while it’s being assembled rather than after it leaves the factory.

rule 10b5-1 financial

Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.

total economic impact financial

Total economic impact measures the overall effect that a product, service, or decision has on the economy, including both the direct benefits and the broader ripple effects it creates. It’s like estimating the full value of a new road—not just the construction costs, but also how it improves travel, boosts local business, and creates jobs. This helps investors understand the complete importance and potential benefits of a project or investment.

“In the AI era, trusted, secure, and governed software delivery sits at the heart of every organization,” said Shlomi Ben Haim, Co-Founder and CEO, JFrog. “As organizations expand their security efforts, relying on multiple point solutions creates alerts, overloads developers, and increases risk. JFrog’s Platform with Artifactory at its core as the system of record for all software packages, empowers app-sec and dev teams to focus on Critical Vulnerabilities - enabling trusted releases, safer development, simpler management, and strong ROI.”

The Value of a Unified Platform vs. Disparate Tools for the Enterprise

The JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform standardizes processes across DevOps, DevSecOps, and AI/MLOps teams, providing organizations with a single system of record for all software artifacts, build information, and release workflows. By consolidating these capabilities into one platform, organizations simplify their technology stack with fewer tools, fewer licenses, and reduced overhead. As a single source of truth, JFrog eliminates integration complexity, inconsistent security practices, and provides end-to-end visibility across the software development lifecycle, which improves compliance, accelerates remediation, and enhances cross-team collaboration.

“We no longer spend days chasing down vulnerabilities,” said a software supply chain manager at a telecommunications organization interviewed for the study. “JFrog gives us the visibility and automation to act within hours, not days.”

Forrester’s study also revealed that JFrog’s Platform enhanced developer autonomy and provided a more resilient software supply chain through the following ways:

• Significant Tool Consolidation Savings: By standardizing on JFrog’s unified platform, organizations reduced software development tool spend by 71%.
• Dramatic Reduction in Vulnerabilities: Organizations reduced the number of critical vulnerabilities by 65%, enabled by JFrog’s contextual analysis, curation, and shift-left security scanning.
• Faster Vulnerability Remediation: Teams cut remediation time by 80%.
• Faster Developer Onboarding: JFrog streamlined setup, permissions, and environment configuration, saving 38 hours per developer.
• Streamlined Audit & Compliance: While the study does not quantify audit cost savings, Forrester notes that JFrog’s automated SBOM generation, continuous scanning, and integrated policy enforcement significantly streamline audit preparation and reduce manual effort.

Forrester Consulting calculated the total economic impact through a mixture of JFrog customer interviews, best practices data, and a composite view of use cases from across different industries.
