I know this is a little off-topic, but I though this group might be a good resource here. As a matter of procedure, we block flash streams at our firewall. It is quite a pain when I have to open a firewall hole every time an employee wants to attend a webinar or watch some streaming content. Since these activities are important parts of some of our jobs, I find myself considering opening up the firewall to these flash streams and java applets permanently. Are there any REAL security implications in this? I generally consider Flash and Java very insecure protocols since they are very common attack vectors. But how big is the risk really? What are your professional opinions?
