  JFrog and Carahsoft Partner to Better Secure the Public Sector’s Software Supply Chain

  PRESS RELEASE, February 20, 2024

  Government Organizations are Now Able to Accelerate the Delivery of Trusted Software from End to End Using the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) 

  Sunnyvale, Calif. and Reston, VA. — February 20, 2024 — JFrog Ltd. (Nasdaq: FROG), the Liquid Software company and creators of the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., the Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership that empowers U.S. Government organizations to safeguard their software supply chains with automated DevSecOps workflows to secure software services consumed by citizens. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as a JFrog Public Sector Distributor, making its platform solution available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V and Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2) contracts.

  “With the number and severity of security threats on the rise, plus increasing regulatory requirements, government organizations must ensure their software is compliant and secure, while also meeting their IT transformation goals,” said Shlomi Ziv, SVP of Americas, JFrog. “Our partnership with Carahsoft will provide public sector organizations with reliable solutions that incorporate security from the start while unburdening DevOps teams from complex and time-consuming remediation processes and ensuring compliance.”

  Government agencies, like all organizations, want to release trusted software fast and on schedule to enable public servants to provide citizens with modern applications and digital services. The Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) integrates secure development practices into the software development lifecycle, reducing vulnerabilities, mitigating potential impacts of known and unknown vulnerabilities, and preventing future recurrences by addressing root causes.

  Gartner predicts that 45 percent of organizations worldwide will experience a software supply chain attack by 2025 (a three-fold increase from 2021). Plus, a report by the SANS Institute showed there is a 70 percent chance a cybersecurity incident will be caused by an organization’s suppliers. 

  “Supply chain attacks in recent years have highlighted the importance of integrating security into each phase of software development,” said Natalie Gregory, Vice President of Open Source Solutions at Carahsoft. “JFrog’s platform provides agencies with unparalleled security, agility and peace of mind for their software supply chain. We’re excited to make these capabilities available to the Public Sector through our reseller partner network and supply Government agencies with the tools needed to enhance their security.”

  Compliance with NIST SP 800-218 and the SSDF is mandatory for government organizations. The JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform is designed to assure customers that their environment complies with NIST 800-218 guidelines in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) M-22-16 memorandum. All JFrog solutions are created using the SSDF, which is consistent with both the White House Executive Order (EO) 14028 and the White House Memorandum on Improving the Cybersecurity of National Security, Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community Systems in the NSM-8. The JFrog Platform supports on-premise, hybrid, cloud, multi-cloud or air-gapped environments and can be hosted on Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or the Google Cloud Platform.   

  The JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform is available through Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, the ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042 for Federal and the DoD, and the Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium (MHEC) and NJSBA contracts for Educational institutions.

  Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements

• JFrog’s Enterprise-Ready NIST SP 800-218 Platform (May 21, 2024)

  
  As an integrator or government agency providing mission-critical software, the question to ask yourself “Is my software development environment NIST SP 800-218 compliant?”. Compliance with NIST SP 800-218 and the SSDF (Secure Software Development Framework) is mandatory, and it’s time to ensure your software supply chain is compliant.

  TALK TO A JFROG GOVERNMENT EXPERT

  ---

  Government agencies must release software reliably, confidently, and on schedule to empower public servants to serve citizens with modern applications and digital services. Simultaneously, they need to ensure that software is secure and compliant to prevent cyber-attacks and meet IT transformation goals. To accomplish these goals, the Government came up with NIST 800-218 guidelines on how to develop software using a SSDF.

  The 4 Practice Areas of the NIST-800-218 Compliance Requirements

  NIST SP 800-218, SSDF Regulatory Compliance

  SSDF is a core set of secure software development practices that can be integrated into each SDLC implementation. Following these practices should help software producers reduce the number of vulnerabilities in released software, mitigate the potential impact of the exploitation of undetected or unaddressed vulnerabilities, and address the root causes of vulnerabilities to prevent future recurrences.

  JFrog Platform support for these operational efficiencies includes:

  1. Product Readiness: making sure products can be consumed by the government accreditations such as FedRamp, FISMA or getting positioning documents to pass audits or gaining Authority to Operate (ATO)
  2. Product Alignment: The government procures software based on how well the product meets the criteria and guidelines met by the product rather than the capabilities, henceforth, the product needs to align its capabilities with the policies.

  JFrog addresses alignment to core guidelines NIST 800-218 and NIST 800-171 along with FIPS, NSM-8 packaging of Executive Order for IC communities.

  Executive Order 14028

  Executive Order 14028 (EO 14028) on improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity requires federal civilian agencies to establish plans to drive the adoption of a Zero Trust Architecture. EO 14028 directed NIST to issue guidance “Identifying practices that enhance the security of the software supply chain”. NIST defines the best practices on development frameworks so agencies can avoid hacks such as SolarWinds, and log4j vulnerabilities and how to avoid nefarious artifacts that get into public repositories by a secure curation process that integrators are building into products.

  

  The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in adherence with NIST guidelines, is now asking every piece of software that the government consumes needs to be attested by the software producer. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is now the arbitrator mandating dates when agencies need to produce the attestation letter – six months after the common form was approved. The NSM-8 National Security Memorandum implements the cybersecurity requirements of EO 14028 for National Security Systems (NSS) – networks across the U.S. Government that contain classified information or are otherwise critical to military and intelligence activities.
