Java security a Focus at JavaOne
If you thought Oracle would be avoiding the recent and well-publicized Java security issues at its upcoming JavaOne show, you’d be wrong!
In fact it seems the exact opposite will be the case, with sessions such as 'Dissecting Java Malware', 'The State of Java Web Container Security' and 'One Year of Security Enhancements in the JRE' being just a few of the sessions planned for the event.
One session even goes as far as to directly acknowledge the bad press with its description stating:
"Recently there has been a lot of press about Java vulnerabilities and security -- giving Java a bad rap. The reality is that the Java platform and language were built with security in mind."
