The Secret Sauce of SLSA: DevGovOps at the Speed of Agentic AI

AI coding agents now ship code at machine speed, exposing a critical gap in traditional governance frameworks that still operate at human speed. DevGovOps is proposed as a new discipline that embeds continuous governance and compliance directly into DevOps pipelines. The SLSA framework (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) serves as the compliance blueprint, with three maturity levels covering build documentation, hosted build services, and hardened build environments. DevGovOps operationalizes SLSA through automated policy-as-code gates, cryptographic provenance binding, and continuous auditability — replacing manual audit scrambles with immutable chains of custody. JFrog AppTrust is presented as the purpose-built tooling to automate SLSA compliance across the full software lifecycle, integrating with Artifactory, Xray, and Curation to enforce governance without slowing delivery.
