We are currently testing uninstalling standalone installations.  So far we haven't identified any reason to keep the 
standalone packages.  The browsers are doing a good job of staying on top of the updates for flash for now.  However, 
we can't block flash in the browser due to so many applications still using it.

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.

Thank you for your feedback!
