Invincea Document Protection: Preventing PDF exploits

According to Kaspersky Lab’s Information Security Threats in the First Quarter of 2010 Report, exploiting Adobe applications accounted for almost half of all reported security threats. Furthermore, Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report released in April 2010 declared Adobe infections to be the number one Internet-based infection vector in 2009.
