Continuously reevaluate your systems <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nIt is important to stay up to date on information from security experts to continuously reassess your systems with this information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does application security impact overall cloud security?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The cloud contains many interconnected components, which are all important to consider when approaching cloud security. However, application security is often overlooked, yet it is a critical component to maintaining cloud security. It is important that developers keep this in mind when building applications for their enterprises. Additionally, enterprises need to consider the importance of application security when managing technology investments. A failure to recognize the importance of application security can create security exposures throughout entire cloud systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are applications vulnerable to security exposures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Java applications are often developed using open-source technology, a practice that allows developers to collaborate in the application development process. While open-source technology has many benefits, it is prone to vulnerability exposures. Everyone has access to the same codes, so attackers can analyze available codes and identify opportunities for exploitation. This is why it is important to monitor security within applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Azul State of Java Survey and Report 2023 backs up the concern over third-party and open-source applications and libraries. Nearly 60% of respondents named them as the most concerning sources of CVEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does Azul help with cloud security?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Azul Vulnerability Detection is a feature of Azul Intelligence Cloud that allows users to continuously monitor their Java applications to detect known vulnerabilities in production. By leveraging Azul JVMs, it produces more accurate results with no performance penalty and eliminates false positives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vulnerability Detection monitors all your Java software and applications to accurately identify components loaded and in use in production. Vulnerability Detection uniquely identifies each component using bytecode-aware hashing techniques. It maps these components accurately to vulnerabilities in a knowledge base updated daily with the latest CVEs from external databases, publicly available information, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This enables accurate, continuous assessment of custom and vendor applications exposure to vulnerabilities in production without the need for source code. Vulnerability \u201cjust works\u201d to detect vulnerabilities in all Java applications \u2013 whether you built it or not, haven’t built it in years, or are introducing a regression with a recent change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vulnerability Detection focuses scarce human effort by eliminating false positives. It does this by monitoring the code loaded and in use by applications running on the JVM vs looking at static file listings and source code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since Azul Vulnerability Detection leverages runtime information from Azul JVMs, there is no additional agent or software to deploy or manage, resulting in minimal operational burden and performance overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n
