IndustryCompany

Technology – Software
Security

ShiftLeft is a continuous application security platform,
purpose-built for the modern software development life
cycle. It combines next-generation static code analysis (toquickly and accurately identify vulnerabilities) withapplication instrumentation (to protect the application) in
an automated workﬂow. This combination of runtimeinformed code analysis and code-informed runtime
protection delivers the most accurate, automated, andcomprehensive application security solution.

Problem
A multitude ofprogramming languages
and package types wascausing manual, error
prone, and slow
deployments, inhibiting
rapid feature iteration.

Results
 Faster build deployments
 Improved build quality
 Reduced DevOpscomplexity
 Cost eﬃciencies withAWS

Product
JFrog Artifactory Cloud Pro

Challenges
ShiftLeft development teams build with a variety of
programming languages and package formats includingJava (Maven), ReactJS (npm), and more recently .Net(NuGet) and therefore require an easy way to manage all of
the binaries created, from a single tool. Moreover, as anagile and eﬃcient early stage startup, ShiftLeft is constantly
looking for eﬀective ways to manage their infrastructure
and provide an environment that supports their rapid
development cycles.

Results
Davy Hua, Head of DevOps at ShiftLeft, has been doing DevOps since before the term
existed and is very familiar with the beneﬁts of DevOps tools such as JFrog Artifactory fromhis experience at previous companies; and felt that it made good sense to bring JFrog
Artifactory into the ShiftLeft DevOps engineering team. JFrog Artifactory sits in the middle oftheir entire CI/CD tool chain and provides a centralized way to manage all the binaries
created from developing with their multitude of programming languages. Hosting theirCI/CD solution on AWS just made sense to help alleviate the headache of hosting, managing,and uptime maintenance of their infrastructure. ShiftLeft deploys all of its services incontainers and conforms to the Twelve-Factor methodology to ensure all apps have proper
logging and that all applications are containerized. ShiftLeft uses JFrog Artifactory hosted onAWS as well as several other AWS native services and their production service is exclusively
hosted on AWS for their customers.
ShiftLeft has beneﬁted most from improved speed of development, as their services are all
hosted on AWS within the same region. Moreover, ShiftLeft has found it easy to standardize
on a universal tool and get all the DevOps teams up and running, with minimal guidance on
how to use JFrog Artifactory. With JFrog Artifactory hosted on AWS ShiftLeft can rapidly
develop and iterate to meet the needs of their customers quickly and eﬀectively.

“As a DevOps founding engineer at ShiftLeft, I understand the importance of using
reliable tools that allow for faster software development; and JFrog has done a
phenomenal job of providing a solid product with detailed product documentation,
enabling the ShiftLeft DevOps team get up and running within minutes on JFrog
Artifactory.” - Davy Hua, Head of DevOps, ShiftLeft
