JFrog Ltd., the Liquid Software company, today announced the acquisition of Upswift, the creators of connected device management software for developers.
The combined companies aim to deliver the industry’s first complete development-to-device platform that bridges the gap between current IoT software silos and common DevOps processes, such as dependency scanning, CI/CD, artifact management, shifting left for application security, software distribution and more. This empowers developers to connect modern CI/CD and SecOps workflows to the world of connected devices, providing a complete process from software creation to full deployment on the device itself.
The companies’ technologies aim to provide a single pane of glass for DevOps engineers and developers to securely manage the complete device software release cycle, reducing deployment time and operational pain.
The integrated technology platform will provide:
- Ability to fully automate software updates from development to device, with full automation capabilities across the DevOps lifecycle of build, security, distribution, and device deployment.
- Scalable, developer-oriented, OTA updates across large fleets of edge and IoT devices with automated, secure updates from anywhere.
- Extended security capabilities to the broad IoT landscape, broadening visibility, monitoring risks and remediating vulnerabilities found on devices.
- Ability to update software directly on IoT and edge devices, reliably delivering file-system and container updates across a distributed fleet.
- Device update management and monitoring, including real-time status of device health, functioning, and applications.
- Remote control capabilities across distributed edges, including direct device access from a browser or via API.
- Complete visibility of software package releases through the full DevOps pipeline, including deployments and incremental updates.
- Full integration with the JFrog Platform to enable simplified, secure management of software releases to the edge.
