With so many esteemed adversaries competing in the same DevSecOps space, winning the “Best DevSecOps Solution” award feels even more special. We’re very grateful to the community and the DevOps Dozen2 judges who voted for JFrog Xray in this extremely tough category.
Modern organizations are working hard to differentiate their products and services by creating innovative solutions that their customers can leverage at home and on-the-go, forcing them to consider new, more agile approaches to application development that empower their development teams to accelerate time-to-market, and launch new solutions as quickly as possible.
Imagine you are a Java programmer and that you just decided you want to use Snyk Open Source scanning to help you find security problems in your third party libraries. Good call! However, after connecting your repository to the Snyk Open Source scanner, you find out that you have ten or maybe even 50 vulnerabilities in the packages you depend on. The major question is: where do I start?
As this year comes to a close, it is a good time to take a look at the trends of open source license usage in 2020 and compare them to previous years. Our research team has collected information from the WhiteSource database, which includes more than 4 million open source packages and 130 million open source files covering over 200 programming languages, to learn which were the most popular open source licenses in 2020.
2020 was a watershed year for open source. Digital transformation, already gaining momentum before COVID19 hit, suddenly accelerated. More and more companies became software companies, and with this shift—usage of open source peaked. Why? Simply put, open source enables development teams to deliver value more rapidly and more frequently, thus enabling their companies to better compete in their respective markets.
Like most people, I am not at all sad to see 2020 go. It introduced unique pressures that challenged all of us in different ways. As snykers, I believe we have emerged stronger.

Ending the fiscal year, Snyk: Yes—two acquisitions.
Docker is totalling up to over 50 billion downloads of container images. With millions of applications available on Docker Hub, container-based applications are popular and make an easy way to consume and publish applications. That being said, the naive way of building your own Docker Node.js web applications may come with many security risks. So, how do we make security an essential part of Docker for Node.js developers?
