The 2024 JFrog Software Supply Chain report is an essential resource for developers and DevOps professionals, offering a comprehensive analysis of the current state of software supply chains and the security challenges they face. Drawing on data from Artifactory, insights from the JFrog Security Research team, and survey responses from over 1,200 professionals, the report discusses the growing complexity of technology stacks, with many organizations using multiple programming languages, which increases the attack surface. It highlights the predominance of open-source components and the associated security risks, emphasizing the need for proactive security measures, such as integrating security early in the development process, known as "shifting left." The role of AI and ML in enhancing security protocols and improving development efficiency is explored, though their use in code creation remains cautious due to security concerns. The report underscores the importance of effectively managing the entire software supply chain, not just the code, to ensure security, compliance, and efficiency, providing guidance for organizations to navigate the evolving technological landscape.
