Financial institutions can avoid significant risks by understanding DORA requirements and penalties. Learn how to achieve DORA compliance in five critical steps.
Unsupported OpenJDK distributions can expose financial institutions to significant risks, such as unpatched security vulnerabilities and performance issues. Azul is the only commercially supported OpenJDK distribution to provide stabilized, security-only patches across Java versions, operating systems and architectures to ensure that Java applications remain resilient and compliant with ICT risk management requirements.
OpenJDK distributions may not receive critical updates or fixes, leading to unreported and unnoticed incidents that can result in non-compliance. Azul Intelligence Cloud provides continuous monitoring of vulnerabilities and unused & dead code in production, helping organizations quickly and accurately detect, report, and remediate vulnerabilities.
Using outdated or vulnerable versions of Java may not accurately reflect production environments, leading to false security assumptions. Azul provides up-to-date, tested Java distributions including for legacy versions like Java 6 & 7 and architectures like Windows x86 32-bit, enabling reliable and accurate testing environments for financial institutions.
Relying on unsupported OpenJDK distributions from third parties increases the risk of security breaches and operational failures. Azul’s fully supported builds of Java ensure that third-party Java-based applications and services meet the highest security and performance standards, reducing third-party risks.
Unsupported Java may miss critical updates and patches, relegating those applications and services as a weak link in the information-sharing chain. By using Azul’s supported Java distributions, organizations can ensure they are aware of the latest vulnerabilities and can share relevant threat information with other entities to enhance collective cybersecurity.
