Azul Intelligence Cloud Improves Java Development Security, Efficiency

KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 (Bernama) -- Azul announced its Intelligence Cloud, a cloud analytics solution, now supports Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) and any OpenJDK-based Java Virtual Machine (JVM) from any vendor or distribution.

The company in a statement said Azul Intelligence Cloud consisted two services which address challenges for Java applications running in production, namely Azul Vulnerability Detection, to eliminate false positives by accurately identifying and prioritising known security vulnerabilities; and Code Inventory, to help identify unused and dead code by precisely detailing what custom and third-party code is actually run.

Its co-founder and chief executive officer, Scott Sellers said Azul Intelligence Cloud which provides actionable intelligence from production Java runtime data to dramatically boost developer productivity, is a game-changer.

“Using the information already inside JVMs running in production, Intelligence Cloud provides unprecedented precision and the intelligence needed to solve two significant DevOps challenges – alert fatigue from an intractable vulnerability, false positive backlog and technical debt from maintaining unused code.

“We are excited to extend these capabilities across all an enterprise’s Java application fleet, regardless of JDK vendor or distribution, to dramatically slash time from unproductive tasks and multiply DevOps productivity,” he said.

For DevOps teams, dealing with Java application deployments that often comprise a heterogeneous mix of JVMs across different Java vendors, platforms and versions becomes increasingly complex.

By supporting any JDK distribution, Azul Intelligence Cloud delivers key benefits across an enterprise’s entire Java fleet including eliminate vulnerability false positives; efficiently triage new vulnerabilities; as well as real-time and historical analysis, accelerated by artificial intelligence.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Azul provides the Java platform for the modern cloud enterprise and is the only company 100 per cent focused on Java.
