Java 7 vulnerabilities in update 80?

user936889Oct 13 2015

We are told to keep Java products updated with the latest version.  We are required to run Java 7 but noticed that Oracle no longer releases updates for that version, with update 80 being the last version.  Is that a safe version to run, or does it have published/known vulnerabilities?  If it does, is there any reason to move from Java 7 Update 17 to Java 7 Update 80?  Would we just be trading vulnerabilities?

Thanks!
