That way, you can make an intelligent, informed decision about what to do as a user, as a developer, as a manager, or as a business decision-maker. Each organization and individual must create their own strategy for developing, using, and managing Java. The way to do this is to take a long hard look at the risks incurred through Java use. Using Java is risky, but really not much more risky than simply being on the Net. Risk assessment involves understanding what it would mean if the data on your machine were made public, what it would mean if your machine were to stop functioning, and what it would mean if the performance of your machine were suddenly and seriously degraded.
Risks differ according to context.
An intelligent Java strategy can only be made after understanding what you have to lose. When you are considering your risks, make sure you don't discount the benefits of Java. Java is an exciting and interesting technology that has lots to offer. Try not to throw out the good with the bad. All rights reserved.
