JFrog Xray

JFrog Xray is a universal software composition analysis tool that provides AI-driven security and compliance scanning deeply integrated with the JFrog Artifactory binary repository manager. It performs deep recursive scanning of all software artifacts -- including Docker images, npm packages, Maven JARs, PyPI wheels, and compiled binaries -- to identify known vulnerabilities and license violations at every layer of the dependency tree. Xray's scanning extends beyond declared dependencies to analyze transitive dependencies and embedded components that are invisible to surface-level scanners.

Enterprise DevOps teams benefit from Xray's ability to enforce security policies at every stage of the artifact lifecycle, from build through promotion to deployment. Policies can block vulnerable artifacts from being downloaded, promoted to release repositories, or deployed to production environments, creating automated security gates that do not require manual intervention. Xray integrates with JFrog Pipelines, Jenkins, and other CI/CD systems, and its REST API enables custom integrations with security orchestration tools.

JFrog Xray differentiates itself through its native integration with Artifactory, the most widely adopted universal binary repository manager. This integration means Xray has complete visibility into every artifact flowing through the organization's software supply chain, including artifacts that are not stored in source control. For enterprise teams managing complex build pipelines with multiple artifact types across diverse technology stacks, this artifact-centric approach to security scanning provides coverage that source-code-only SCA tools cannot match.
