Java Security Patch Available
From the folks at customer support:
Critical Patch Update - June 2011
The Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update - June 2011 was released on June 7th, 2011. Oracle strongly recommends applying the patches as soon as possible.
The Critical Patch Update Advisory is the starting point for relevant information. It includes the list of products affected, a summary of the security vulnerabilities, and a pointer to obtain the latest releases and patches. Supported products that are not listed in the "Supported Products Affected" section of the advisory do not require new patches to be applied.
Also, it is essential to review the Critical Patch Update supporting documentation referenced in the Advisory before applying patches, as this is where you can find important pertinent information.
The Advisory is available at the following location:

Java
Speaking of Java, Computerworld has an article on our new beta: Oracle offers JavaFX 2.0 beta.

Security
How sure are you that the person in the next cubicle isn't snooping on the HR files while you are reading this? How sure are you that your seemingly unflappable DBA/manager/network person/whatever is not in fact a threat to your security, an inside threat. You're not sure. That's the trouble with living life. It's like reading a detective novel, but you can't skip to the end to see who did it (or go back and edit some earlier chapters so you end up with the Maltese Falcon, for that matter). Talking Identity has some material from Nishant Kaushik to help Deploy Multi-Layered Security to Combat Insider Threats.
