Case Study: Pharmaceutical Distributor achieves enhanced security, accelerated IoT updates and regulatory compliance with JFrog

Pharmaceutical Distributor Strengthens Security and Efficiency with the JFrog Platform

A leading U.S. specialty pharmaceutical distributor with a decades-long track record turned to software to power its RFID-enabled refrigerated inventory devices for healthcare providers. As hardware evolved and demand for frequent edge updates grew, reliance on open-source components exposed security gaps, consumed developer time remediating post-release vulnerabilities, and risked non‑compliance with stringent healthcare and regulatory requirements.

The company deployed the JFrog Platform (Artifactory, Xray, Advanced Security, and Connect) as a single system of record to enable continuous security scanning, generate SBOMs, and securely distribute updates to edge devices. The unified solution improved auditability and governance, reduced vulnerabilities, supported 1,500+ monthly IoT updates, produced an SBOM per application for compliance, and shifted roughly 40 hours/month of developer time from security work back to coding.
