In a little more than a decade since the inception of the Java language, the Java ecosystem has evolved into one that businesses around the world look to for secure, robust, and manageable web-based applications that serve the enterprise. At the same time, OS 2200, the operating system for the Unisys ClearPath Dorado Series mainframes — an operating system designed from the ground up with security in mind — continued its evolution to provide even greater security. This paper explores the integrated Java platform security that results from the synergy of these two world-class environments.

Though it is unlikely that the risk of intrusion into an IT infrastructure can ever be totally eliminated, there are many ways to implement security measures that can prevent cyber attacks. This paper focuses on buffer overflows, the potential introduction and execution of arbitrary executable code and how ClearPath MCP based systems protect against this type of cyber attack.
