Practice Lab: JFrog Advanced Security - Continuous Security Scanning [LAB-508]

This lab transforms you into a security architect for your software supply chain by focusing on JFrog Advanced Security. You'll learn to pinpoint and remediate "Applicable" vulnerabilities – those direct, exploitable threats that truly impact your software.

Prerequisite: We recommend completing the "JFrog Advanced Security" self-paced learning path before diving into our Practice Labs.

Course Level: Intermediate

Upon completing this lab, you'll be able to:

• Pinpointing "Applicable" Vulnerabilities: Efficiently locating and confirming exploitable threats, especially critical issues identified by JFrog  Advanced Security - contextual analysis.
• Leveraging Contextual Insights: Utilizing JFrog  Advanced Security deep research to understand the specific conditions that make vulnerabilities exploitable. This includes understanding how Xray helps remove false positives by identifying if a vulnerable function is actually activated by your application, enabling focused remediation efforts.
• Streamlined Remediation: Applying effective strategies, such as dependency upgrades or code modifications, to neutralize identified threats. Contextual analysis will indicate if a vulnerability can be fixed by upgrading the version or by modifying the application's code.
• Developer-Centric Security: Integrating JFrog  Advanced Security intelligence directly into your development workflow via IDE plugins to identify and address real threats before they hit your CI/CD pipeline.
• Prioritizing Security Efforts: Understanding how JFrog  Advanced Security "Applicability" status guides you to focus on the most impactful security issues, transforming detection into actionable defense. Fixing one real, applicable threat is more impactful than triaging many non-issues.

Requirements - To get the most out of this lab, you should have: 

• Familiarity with JFrog Artifactory's UI.
• Knowledge of artifact repositories and Docker.
• Prior experience with JFrog Xray's basic scanning and policy management is recommended.
