Case Study: Leading Law Enforcement Agency achieves high security and 80% faster open-source curation in an Air-Gap environment with JFrog

Law Enforcement Achieves High Security & Software Development Speed with JFrog

This leading law enforcement agency faced a tough challenge: strict air‑gapped networks and no direct Internet access prevented developers from safely using open‑source software, made package requests slow and manual (about 30 minutes per request), and limited vulnerability scanning until packages were already inside the network. With hundreds of releases and growing OSS needs, the agency needed a way to leverage public repositories without compromising security or developer productivity.

JFrog Professional Services implemented a dual‑site JFrog Platform—Artifactory, Curation, Xray and Advanced Security—deployed in the DMZ and on the internal network with secure vault transfers, automated curation and pre‑DMZ vulnerability scanning. The result: automated, auditable access to 1,000+ OSS packages/month with zero developers having direct Internet access, request times reduced to 3–5 minutes (≈80% curation time reduction), and improved security and scalability across multiple package types.
