    Hi All,

    NSA just published NSA CTR Recommendations for Configuring Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in a Windows Environment

    This configuration guide provides recommendations on configuring Adobe Acrobat®
    Reader® DC in a Windows® environment. Administrators operating in a typical
    environment, where Acrobat Reader is used solely for viewing PDF documents, may use
    the Appendix: Configuring Settings for Adobe's Acrobat Reader DC as a quick guide to
    configure the Adobe Customization Wizard with the recommendations suited to their
    environment.

    The recommendations flagged in the Appendix as "always" are sufficient for most
    environments and are suitable for security compliance checklists. In some situations,
    however, users may utilize features of Adobe's Acrobat Reader requiring scripting or
    data sharing. In these cases, administrators should carefully review this configuration
    guide to select configuration options that will have minimal impact on usability while
    providing the most protection.

    All administrators should understand the implications of the new cloud features and
    review Section 3.4: Document Cloud interaction for guidelines on configuring them or
    disabling them as required for the environment.
