JFrog Private Distribution Network
JFrog’s new JFrog distribution capability is part of the JFrog DevOps platform and it enables enterprises to easily set up and manage a secure, massively scalable hybrid distribution network.

The new solution also offers out-of-the-box support for open-source security vulnerability and licenses compliance policies, RBAC, and traceability and visibility into all distribute packages and downloads.
