Adobe continues to make significant investments in Adobe Reader to help mitigate today's real-world risks while simultaneously reducing the total cost of ownership associated with deployment. Cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and protecting intellectual property and networks are a constant concern. With the latest version, Adobe Reader X, Adobe made extensive changes to the underlying code base and leverages the latest security techniques. In comparison to previous versions, Adobe Reader X also delivers higher assurance and significantly reduces the need for urgent or frequent security patches. While enhancing application security, these improved update processes and simplified administration reduce IT management costs. Collectively, the security and deployment improvements enhance security and lower the total cost of ownership for your organization.
