Summary

Companies face numerous security threats as bad actors attempt to infiltrate their internal networks and connected applications, particularly as more organizations adopt cloud-based products. JFrog offers a solution to this security challenge through the implementation of IP allowlists, which restrict network access to approved IP addresses and help prevent attacks like DoS and man-in-the-middle. While setting up an allowlist can be straightforward, first-time users may encounter challenges. The text outlines three methods to enhance network security with allowlists: using IP/CIDR ranges from VPN servers for anonymity and easier management, employing DNS servers for secure internal network access, and establishing Private Link connections to transfer data securely within cloud provider backbones. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, such as maintenance requirements or compatibility limitations. JFrog encourages its customers to adopt these security measures and offers support and a free trial for those interested in exploring their platform.
