Are Critical Vulnerabilities Lurking in Your Java Ecosystem?

Java, the popular object-oriented language renowned for its portability, performance, and security, is often the preferred choice for organisations building everything from enterprise and cloud-native applications to Android apps.

However, despite these strengths, Java’s popularity and the complex ecosystem of third-party libraries it relies upon have also made it a prime target for malicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities. According to the Datadog “State of DevSecOps”[1] report, a staggering 90% of Java services are susceptible to one or more critical or high-severity vulnerabilities, often stemming from external dependencies, compared to an average of 47% for other technologies. This discrepancy is concerning and points to inherent issues within the Java ecosystem.
