We looked into websocket and HTNML5 and decided to re-implement our browser-based applications using it. If we do that, we will be at the mercy of the browser developers to work out the bugs rather than Adobe; but at least we will have some serious competition between a few competing groups (Mozilla, Chrome, Microsoft, etc..)
I think it would be a big step forward.. Livio. On 07/22/2015 09:53 AM, Kevin Reedy wrote:
Flash is a tough one for us, since most of our online offerings utilize it we can't simply disable it. I am keeping an eye on all the Cryptolocker type IDS alerts, as well as 'emergency' patching as soon as is reasonable after the fix is released. I am putting quite a bit of faith in our URL classification subscription as well as the Palo Alto 'wild fire' detections, but obviously if the content is on a compromised but otherwise good page it will be a problem. Long term solution is to move away from Flash in our offerings, and while we had already been doing that, this will hasten the timeline. -Kevin Kevin Reedy Executive Director, Information Security Excelsior College (518) 464-8720 From: Chris Green <CGreen () UTTYLER EDU> To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU, Date: 07/22/2015 12:17 PM Subject: [SECURITY] Adobe Flash Sent by: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv <SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> All, I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone might be willing to share if and what has been done at your respective institutions in response to the multiple zero day vulnerabilities that have been exposed within Adobe Flash.
