CD-ROM on Java Security Debuts

September 10th, 2007

Java is a powerful force in making Web content animated and dynamic. But the technology also leaves your desktop potentially vulnerable to software attacks that could corrupt all the data on a hard drive, seek out private information and send it to other parties, forge e-mail, or even take control of the system.

How can you protect yourself or your company from hostile and malicious applets? MindQ, publishers of Java Programming tutorials, suggests some measures in a new CD-ROM titled Java Security: Managing the Risks.

Java Security presents a thorough and engaging explanation of how Java works and
how its security features can be circumvented. The product also gives you the information and tools you’ll need to protect yourself or your business. All of this is accomplished by a nice blend of sound, animation, and video that make even the most arcane aspects of Java easy to absorb.

Java Security was written by two leading experts in Java security. Gary McGraw is a research scientist at Reliable Software Technologies, and Edward Felton heads the Safe Internet Programming team at Princeton University, highly regarded for its work in finding and fixing problems with Java.
