Security is always a concern when implementing applications that will run in production environments. The Payara Platform Enterprise is a fully-supported open source software for enterprises offering a strong tool set of security features so you won’t have to implement your own security measures from scratch, enabling reliable and secure deployments of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications on premises, in the cloud, or hybrid environments.
Making the platform secure and providing useful built-in security tools for application developers and production administrators is an essential part of the platform development process and is accomplished with monthly releases, security fixes, critical security patches, and a 10-year software lifecycle. The Payara Platform also provides tools to secure and restrict access to a production system, encrypt communication, and audit security events and configuration changes.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program is celebrating its 25th anniversary today! This marks a major milestone in global cybersecurity. Since 1999, the CVE Program has been critical in helping organizations identify, manage and mitigate cybersecurity vulnerabilities through worldwide collaboration. Today, with over 240,000 CVE Records and more than 400 CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) across 40 countries, CVE remains a vital resource for vulnerability management and a key component of cybersecurity defense.
The Eclipse Foundation is launching a new Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group on 24 September 2024. Payara Services is delighted to be a Participant member and the organization is keen to ensure as many development and security teams, small to medium-sized enterprises, and corporations as possible are aware of its work. And, of course, the more organizations that join the Open Regulatory Compliance Group, the stronger our impact can be. When we work together, we can better represent open-source software-related industries while the EU develops standards under the Cyber Resilience Act 2024 and subsequent data security compliance legislation. In this blog post, we look at the history and development of the Eclipse Foundation as well as its new focus on cybersecurity compliance regulations through the new working group since July 2024.
Join us for an insightful webinar with Lenny Primak & Luqman Saeed, where we'll demystify security for your Jakarta EE applications using Apache Shiro. Simplifying Security for Your Jakarta EE Applications with Apache Shiro Wednesday, the the 4th of September, 4pm BST Register: https://www.crowdcast.io/c/security-with-jakarta-and-apache-shiro
In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, it is no surprise that there has been a steady rise in the number and cost of security breaches over the last few years. To maximize the robustness and resilience of your applications and prevent any vulnerability from being exploited, it's important for companies to keep everything around their software up to date. When it comes to application servers, it means using a modern, fully supported solution or upgrading to one quickly. With Java EE-based server runtime environments being outdated legacy software and lacking support, it is essential to migrate applications relying on these to favor an alternative, such as Jakarta EE, to safeguard your applications and data.
Introduction Security is a paramount concern for modern web applications. Protecting sensitive data and user access necessitates a standardized approach. The OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol, in conjunction with Identity Providers (IdPs) like Keycloak, and the Jakarta Security API integrated into Jakarta EE, offer a reliable solution. Together, they help streamline authentication and authorization in your Jakarta EE applications.
