<p>CHICAGO, Jan 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) --IOCOM, a leading provider of universal video conferencing solutions, is informing its customers that users of their communications platform, Visimeet, will not experience any disruption due to the recent security breaches with Java, a browser plug-in from Oracle Corporation.</p><p>Last week, the Department of Homeland Security Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) issued a warning to users of Java of a security flaw that allows hackers to install malicious software and malware on computers. Oracle's failure to secure the software means that PCs running Java in their browsers remain vulnerable to attack by criminals seeking to steal credit-card numbers, banking credentials, passwords and commit other types of identity theft. As of Tuesday January 15, efforts to resolve the bugs have been reported to not be effective, with one industry spokesperson stating it could take two years to fix all the security flaws in the current version.</p><p>This is significant as many of the common video and web conferencing solutions on the market today require Java to operate as browser-based solutions. IOCOM's Visimeet is specifically designed with proprietary, enterprise-class secure software for business use and does not rely on Java to function.</p><p>"This is a serious threat to users because of the large number of programs, including videoconferencing solutions, that require Java to operate," said Jon Swanson, IOCOM Chief Technology Officer. "With no fix on the near horizon, the only way to avoid infection is to disable Java, which fortunately has zero impact on IOCOM, allowing our Visimeet platform to operate at its full functionality."</p><p><a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/iocoms-video-conferencing-solution-not-affected-by-java-hack-2013-01-15">Keep reading...</a></p>
