Feds Can Counter Java Headaches with Virtualization
Nextgov: Java is one of the most useful programming languages within government but it’s also one of the most vulnerable.
Many of the highest profile, successful attacks had a Java vulnerability as their launching point—not just in government but across organizations of all sizes. By comparison, Flash had similar problems but had such a light footprint in government that the solution was simply to purge it from federal computers. You can’t do that with Java, as it’s far too entrenched at agencies and makes up the lifeblood of many critical systems and applications.
