JFrog Business Value Center dashboard replaces manual ROI estimates with concrete cost savings data for finance teams

JFrog has launched the Business Value Center, a new dashboard feature designed to quantify the return on investment of its software supply chain platform. According to company research, this tool addresses the difficulty teams face when proving the financial value of security operations to finance departments or new executives during licence renewals.

Root cause

DevOps and security teams often struggle to demonstrate their impact because proof of value is scattered across build logs and scan results. When leadership changes, the context for why the platform matters is often lost. Consequently, business cases for renewal rely on estimates rather than actual data, making it difficult to show specific productivity gains or risks avoided without significant manual effort.

Attack path

The platform aggregates operational data that was previously locked inside technical logs. By processing repository activity and scan results, the Business Value Center converts these technical events into readable business metrics. This allows organisations to see how much of their supply chain is protected and how heavily teams rely on the platform for daily operations, without needing to reconstruct the value story manually.

Affected versions

The Business Value Center is available within the MyJFrog account portal. It provides metrics for the JFrog Platform, including data related to JFrog Xray vulnerability scanning. The dashboard updates in real time, showing current status rather than historical snapshots.

Mitigation

• Access the Business Value Center through the MyJFrog portal to view current metrics.
• Review the optimisation section to check the percentage of supply chain actively scanned.
• Examine the ROI section for data on developer hours reclaimed and storage avoided.
• Use the provided figures to support business cases for platform usage and renewal.

Why it matters

Security operations teams often find it difficult to translate technical achievements into financial terms that resonate with executive leadership. When proving the value of security tools, teams usually need to demonstrate how risk reduction translates to cost avoidance. This shift requires moving from anecdotal evidence of blocked threats to quantifiable data on efficiency gains. Organisations should ensure their security metrics align with broader business objectives, such as operational speed and resource optimisation, to maintain support for security initiatives.

What to do and how to stay safe: JFrog

• Review current documentation processes to ensure security outcomes are recorded in a centralised location.
• Identify key performance indicators that link security activities to business efficiency, such as build times.
• Prepare a summary of risk reduction metrics to present to finance teams during budget reviews.
• Monitor platform usage statistics to demonstrate dependency and operational impact to stakeholders.
