New JFrog AppTrust Capabilities Automate Regulatory Compliance - Cutting audit preparation from weeks to hours while enforcing security policies and governance for autonomous agents at enterprise scale.
SUNNYVALE, Calif. and NEW YORK — swampUP 2026 — September 3, 2026 — JFrog Ltd. (“JFrog”) (NASDAQ: FROG), the Liquid Software company and creators of the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform, the system of record for trusted software artifacts, binaries, and AI assets, today unveiled DevGovOps for the AI era – a new class of capabilities in JFrog AppTrust that automates governance across the entire software supply chain to help organizations keep pace with agent-driven development and growing regulatory demands.
“AI is changing how software gets built and shipped. Autonomous agents are now first-class members of our customers' development teams, committing code and shipping releases at machine speed. The challenge is - governance and compliance still run on human timelines. The reality is: governance can't be something you do after the fact, in a spreadsheet or a quarterly audit – it must be built into the release itself,” said Shlomi Ben Haim, Co-Founder and CEO, JFrog. “With JFrog AppTrust, compliance enforcement is automatic. It's not about policies and code. It's about making sure governance keeps pace with your development velocity – whether your code comes from a human or an agent. That's the next evolution of DevGovOps.”
Enterprises building AI factories face a fundamental operational challenge: autonomous agents and AI-assisted developers can plan, code, test, and deploy in hours. Manual governance processes take weeks. Additionally, regulatory requirements from the ECB AI Cyber Directive, EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), NIST SSDF, and FedRAMP mandate that organizations prove active compliance for every supported software version or face steep fines and restrictions. For example, CRA fines can reach up to €15 million or 2.5% of global annual turnover. Separately, under the EU's NIS2 Directive, management bodies, including named executives, can face personal accountability, up to temporary bans from managerial roles.
The Four Dimensions of DevGovOps at Scale: Codify, Attest, Enforce, Monitor
The new JFrog AppTrust capabilities embed governance into the software supply chain across DevGovOps’s four continuous pillars – Codify, Attest, Enforce, and Monitor – making governance an always-on property of the infrastructure, not a checkpoint applied after the fact.
- Codify: Automated policy enforcement. For custom compliance policies, JFrog's AI-assisted Policy-as-Code Playground lets security teams write and validate governance rules in plain English – without needing Rego expertise – then test against real application versions before deployment. Validated policies can be saved as reusable templates that are then enforced consistently and deterministically across the organization.
- Attest: Automatic evidence-based capture. Prompt-to-Release Traceability collects approvals, builds, scans, and promotions with no manual logging step, bridging the gap created by a lack of provenance in AI agents. It connects the agent’s intent to the artifact that was shipped and delivers a full audit trail for every agent decision and consumed asset across the software lifecycle.
- Enforce: Policy guardrails at machine speed. For common compliance requirements, JFrog offers new Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) Compliance Frameworks with pre-built rules aligned with regulatory standards and automatically enforced with one click. Templates for CRA and NIST SSDF are available now, with additional standards coming soon.
- Monitor: DevGovOps that doesn’t stop at the release gate. With Post-Release Governance, JFrog AppTrust extends compliance visibility with continuous monitoring of every active production version within its support window, so organizations can prove compliance and track newly introduced security risks at any point in time.
Governance no longer has to slow teams down, and control doesn’t have to be feared. JFrog AppTrust will bring DevGovOps at scale capabilities to JFrog Platform customers in Q3 2026.
