JFrog Xray: DevOps-Native Security

JFrog Xray integrates seamlessly with JFrog Artifactory to provide SCA capabilities within DevOps pipelines. This integration enables security scanning at the artifact repository level, preventing vulnerable components from propagating through the software delivery pipeline. Xray's universal artifact analysis supports various package types, container images, and even compiled binaries, providing comprehensive coverage for modern applications.

The platform excels at providing actionable intelligence about components, including vulnerability information, license details, and operational metadata. Xray's impact analysis shows exactly which artifacts and builds are affected by newly discovered vulnerabilities, enabling rapid response. The tool's watch policies enable automated actions like blocking downloads or failing builds when policy violations occur. Integration with JFrog's broader platform provides end-to-end visibility from development through production.

JFrog Xray pricing is typically bundled with broader JFrog platform subscriptions, making isolated pricing difficult to determine. Platform subscriptions start around $30,000 annually for small implementations, scaling to several hundred thousand for enterprise deployments. Organizations already using Artifactory find Xray's addition cost-effective, while those evaluating standalone SCA might find the platform approach overkill. The solution particularly suits organizations embracing DevOps practices and requiring tight integration between artifact management and security.
