Case Study: Newcastle City Council mitigates Java security risks with Azul Core

Newcastle City Council eliminates 80%+ of Java security vulnerabilities with Azul

Newcastle City Council was running critical government applications on Oracle Java but faced dramatically increased costs and security risks when Oracle changed its licensing model and ended support for older Java versions. Security audits flagged the Java runtime as a major vulnerability, so the council needed an affordable alternative to Oracle Java SE and turned to Azul for a solution using Azul Core.

Azul provided a one-for-one equivalent to Oracle Java SE at a significantly more affordable price. The solution from Azul delivered timely updates for all Java versions, including Java 6, and Critical Patch Updates that could be immediately deployed. As a result, Newcastle City Council eliminated over 80% of its Java-related security vulnerabilities and achieved a fully supported, secure, and standardized Java application estate.
