When Java added exciting possibilities to Web sites, it also opened some dangerous portals that may enable hackers and other "computer criminals" to compromise what you thought was a secure system. Most organization's Web Browsers are Java enabled so your corporation may already be at risk. Ed Felten was one of the first who blew the whistle on security weaknesses of Java. Here he joins Gary McGraw in outlining secure programming practices for today's hottest language. They reveal the weaknesses and pitfalls of current safe Java policy and show how to incorporate both organizational and technical fixes into an effective safety managment program.
