Info for administrators
Critical vulnerabilities are regularly found in Adobe Flash Player, and are quickly used in exploit kits. Learn more about Adobe's security.
Update Chrome to the latest version across your organization, and set up support for Flash. We recommend allowing Chrome to automatically update in the future.
If you turned off updates, content might be blocked if the version of Flash isn't safe. If that happens, people will be prompted to update Chrome. You can prevent the prompt by using the AllowOutdatedPlugins policy, but we recommend updating Chrome to the latest version instead.
