Contextual Analysis

Course Level: Intermediate

Requirements: A foundational understanding of software security concepts and familiarity with vulnerability management practices.

Prerequisites: None. Familiarity with JFrog Xray is helpful but not required.

Course Description: A long list of CVEs tells you what might be vulnerable — it doesn't tell you what's actually at risk in your application. Acting on every finding without context wastes engineering time and breeds alert fatigue, while genuine threats get lost in the noise. This course walks you through all six capabilities of JFrog Advanced Security, giving you the tools to detect, prioritise, and remediate real threats across your entire SDLC.

Topics Covered:

• Contextual Analysis: How JFrog Security Research intelligence determines whether a CVE is actually reachable in your code — eliminating false positives and sharpening remediation priority.
• Secrets Detection: How to identify exposed tokens, credentials, and internal secrets across source code and binaries before accidental leakage becomes an incident.
• SAST: How static application security testing catches vulnerabilities at the point of code creation, before they travel downstream into shared repositories or production.
• IaC (Infrastructure as Code) Security: How to detect misconfigurations and security risks in your infrastructure definitions before they are deployed.
• Exposures: How to surface and assess exposure risks across your software components to understand your real attack surface.
• Runtime Security: How to monitor and protect running workloads, detecting threats that only become visible once software is in execution.
