Summary

Organizations with strict security requirements, such as financial institutions and military installations, often require an air-gapped setup to manage dependencies without exposing operations to the internet. Artifactory provides a solution by setting up at least two instances: one on the DMZ and another on an internal network. This setup allows for secure downloading and transferring of dependencies via external devices or a one-way network connection. Various methods, such as dependencies declaration, dedicated scripts, and smart remote repositories, facilitate retrieving and caching necessary artifacts. Tools like JFrog CLI aid in the efficient management of these artifacts by allowing checksum-aware downloading and targeted uploading between instances. Additionally, Artifactory supports pull replication to synchronize dependencies into internal repositories while maintaining security protocols.
