Re: Good Start
I very much agree with you. HTML5 has been proven to be a source of fewer vulnerabilities. However, if it becomes more mainstream do we think maybe HTML5 will become more vulnerable in the future?

"... Microsoft Silverlight Next?  ..."

I am not sure if anybody using Silverlight for their projects anymore. Anybody I talked to recently they were all got out of it.

" ... plug-in free web movement ..."

I agree. There should be less need to plug-ins, we need to be ready to switch between apps if we go with that tough. There is not going to be one app that does everything we want.

"... Java SDK dependencies pose a larger risk ..."

Everything related to client side should go to HTML5 in my view. It is hard to keep up with vulnerabilities if there are too many options.

It was big and flashy when it was intruded. Like flash, it is very powerful tool but their time has passed.

Microsoft Silverlight Next?
I am so happy I am speechless!  The importance of this move will be understood over the next couple years.  Finally, kudos to Oracle for "getting it" - at least on plug-in free web movement.  Next?

Good Start
This is a good start but I think Java SDK dependencies pose a larger risk due to the level of effort behind upgrading along with app testing than retiring a plugin would. Can someone explain this in further detail?

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
