Using JLink to create smaller Docker images for your Spring Boot Java application

Containers bring new flexibility and agility to software development and deployment. However, they also introduce a new attack surface that malicious actors can exploit.

Do we really need another cybersecurity tool?

Research shows many companies now own and operate more than 60 disparate security tools, yet breaches continue to make headlines. Throwing more tools at the problem is a tactic that simply doesn’t work and— with trends pointing toward tighter security budgets—may not even be possible anymore.
