ITS will continue to identify and reduce vulnerable software and work with distributed partners to reduce the risk across the University.įor more information, review JRE Requirements & Best Practices. We have plans to do the same for other applications, where these efforts are not already in progress.Īdditionally, we contacted distributed technology leaders in key partner areas, recommending that they also take immediate action to remove JRE from devices not centrally-managed by ITS. The team has already sunset or replaced several applications during the process. The Uninstall tool shows you a list of the Java versions on your computer and then removes those that are out-of-date. For the latter, we created exceptions to retain JRE. The Java Uninstall tool helps you improve your computer security by finding and uninstalling older versions of Java.
This coordinated effort involved working with application owners to identify JRE-dependent applications, tools, and individuals who required any of these to perform their job. As of March 2021, over 8,200 devices had JRE successfully removed, and the process continues. We recently completed a project to remove Java Runtime Environment (JRE) software from Windows devices that do not require it. ITS took another critical step to actively reduce vulnerable software that puts the University at increased risk for potential cyber-attacks.
