Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Focuses on runtime protection for Java applications against newly disclosed CVEs before patches become available
- Addresses the gap between rapid vulnerability exploitation and the average 92-day patch cycle
- Includes live demonstration of CVE Shield deployment for Linux-hosted Java applications
- Covers vulnerability prioritization and reachability analysis to identify exploitable weaknesses
- Designed for security professionals, architects and teams managing Java workloads
About the Webinar
Contrast Security hosts this technical webinar examining runtime security controls for Java applications. The session centers on the challenge organizations face when attackers weaponize newly disclosed vulnerabilities faster than security teams can deploy patches. With average patch cycles extending to 92 days, the webinar explores how runtime protection can neutralize exploits immediately after CVE disclosure.
The presentation includes a live demonstration of CVE Shield, a runtime security control that blocks exploit capabilities through microsandboxing without requiring signature updates. Attendees will see the technology deployed to protect Linux-hosted Java applications in real time.
Runtime Protection and Microsandboxing
The webinar explains how runtime application security differs from traditional patch-based approaches. Rather than waiting for vendor patches and scheduling maintenance windows, runtime protection operates at the application layer to block exploit techniques as they execute. The microsandboxing approach discussed does not rely on signatures, allowing it to defend against exploitation attempts for vulnerabilities that have only just been disclosed.
A significant portion of the session addresses vulnerability prioritization and reachability analysis. Not every disclosed CVE poses equal risk to every environment. The webinar covers methods for determining which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable within a specific production environment, helping teams focus remediation efforts where they matter most.
The Patch Cycle Problem
Organizations running legacy Java applications or systems with complex dependencies often struggle to apply patches quickly. Production environments may have change control requirements, testing obligations or compatibility concerns that extend remediation timelines. The webinar addresses these operational realities and presents runtime protection as a compensating control during the window between disclosure and patch deployment.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is relevant for application security professionals, security engineers and architects responsible for Java application portfolios. CISOs and security leadership evaluating runtime protection strategies will find the session useful for understanding the technology category. DevOps and IT operations teams managing Java workloads on Linux, particularly those with legacy applications or environments where rapid patching is difficult, are also part of the intended audience. The format includes a live Q&A session.
