I was just curious how other institutions that use Blackboard are handling the recommendation by Blackboard not to apply the latest IE patches. Obviously with the package containing multiple patches including critical security fixes it poses quite the dilemma. On the one hand patching could case major issues with a key academic system. On the other hand not patching places systems at a risk of compromise. Any philosophies or thoughts? Thanks, Jon Allen Information Security Officer Baylor University
