By now all of you are aware of the Adobe Zero-day vulnerability affecting both Adobe Flash and Reader. While patches have been released correcting this vulnerability, the question remains how do consumers (and by that I mean SMB, general consumers and Enterprises) protect themselves in the future. While we continue to state the obvious (and sometimes archaic) patches and malware protection, the reality is much more than that.

There continues to be an explosion of web applications in this rapidly expanding social web presence. The rush to deliver a product to market is more often over shadowed by good programming with a security focus.

We have a solution that can streamline the process and save you valuable resources.

The latest Adobe Flash Player vulnerability reinforces just how challenging it is to safeguard your company against targeted attacks.  On March 14, Adobe issued security advisory CVE-2011-0609 which warned of an attack that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.  This occurs when a malicious Flash (.swf) file is embedded in a Microsoft Excel (.xls) file and delivered as an email attachment.  That’s an insidious method of attack!  Check out the blog post by Jeong Wook Oh & Marian Radu for a thorough technical analysis of this vulnerability.  Needless to say, it's easy to envision how such an attack could succeed.  The evil doer just needs to obtain some insider knowledge about a company which then aids the open rates of the...
