Mitigate Dangers in Outdated and Unsupervised Java Setups
Qualys, a leading cybersecurity company, continues to evolve its services to meet the complex security needs of its customers. One of the latest additions to their arsenal is the TruRiskTM Eliminate, a solution designed to address the risk posed by unmanaged Java installations.
A significant security concern arises from unmanaged Java installations, particularly those installed in non-standard locations without version control. These installations often go undetected and can silently expand an organization's attack surface, leaving critical vulnerabilities unpatched.
To address this issue, Qualys has enhanced its Oracle Java Discovery capabilities. This allows for the identification of all Java installations on a host, a task that is often challenging due to the distribution of Java installations across an environment.
The TruRiskTM Eliminate solution provides a script that can remove any instance of Java below a defined minimum safe version. Users can define this minimum approved Java version before executing the script, ensuring that only approved versions remain.
In addition, Qualys Cyber Security Asset Management (CSAM) can help in this identification process. It offers granular, version-specific details about all identified Java installations, aiding in the management and control of these installations.
The script is executed across assets in the environment, helping to ensure that all instances of Java are accounted for. Once the unapproved or outdated versions are identified, users can proceed to remove them, reducing the associated risk.
Vulnerabilities related to removed Java versions will be automatically cleared, further enhancing the security of the environment. It's important to note that the time frame in which old, unauthorized Java versions are potentially identified and removed using the Qualys solution is not specified in the provided search results.
Most vulnerability management tools do not offer out-of-the-box remediation capabilities for Java. Qualys, however, provides a complete solution from discovery to remediation to eliminate Java-related risk across an environment.
Moreover, Qualys offers a free trial for its services, allowing users to experience the benefits of its solutions before committing to a full subscription. With its enhanced Java security capabilities, Qualys TruRiskTM Eliminate provides comprehensive solutions beyond traditional patch management, helping organizations secure their environments more effectively.
Recent updates have also improved Qualys' Azul Java vulnerability discovery, further strengthening its position as a leader in Java security. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, Qualys remains committed to meeting the evolving security needs of its customers.
