I am running a siem and a signature files every time a user downloads an exe, if I know the IP address range of adobe update I can put in an exception to not trigger an event when adobe updates occur

Adobe Updates come from 52.86.230.100; 54.84.186.68; 52.1.147.215; and 52.0.227.230. &nbsp;You can determine this with Comm VIew (or Wireshark) and no doubt the IP range changes occasionally.

You are fighting a losing battle trying to do this. This is a VERY hard way to turn off Adobe Updates. <br />
<br />
1. If you do not want Adobe, uninstall it.<br />
2. If you want Adobe, some updates are security updates and needed.<br />
3. If you still want updates OFF, turn them off in Preferences.

You are misunderstanding what I am trying to do. I can run a report that will show me all exe downloads in the last 24 hours. If I know the range of addresses that Adobe uses I can tag those addresses so when I look at the report I can quickly tell what is Adobe and know that I don't have to worry about those exes being introduced into the environment, I can't believe they don't have this published anywhere

So you are trying to UNBLOCK Adobe updates so it will update. <br />
<br />
Can you not put ADOBE as an exclusion in your product.<br />
<br />
I do not think you can ever depend on IP address.

Never mind, I appreciate your time but you still aren't understanding what I'm looking for. I will call Adobe and ask them directly.

Thanks for the response, what you stated in your response is what I ended up doing, I disabled adobe update via a gpo and I update adobe from one central server. Finding Akamai server names and IP address ranges aren't easy, I see many others are having issues with it as well

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a cross-platform multimedia and software platform used to embed animations, video, and interactive applications into web pages and desktop and mobile applications and games. Flash displays text, vector and raster graphics to provide animations, video games and applications. It allows streaming of audio and video, and can capture mouse, keyboard, microphone and camera input. The ActionScript programming language allows creation of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications and mobile applications.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Adobe Acrobat is a family of application software and Web services developed by Adobe Systems to view, create, manipulate, print and manage files in Portable Document Format (PDF). The family comprises Acrobat Reader (formerly Adobe Reader), Acrobat (formerly Acrobat Exchange) and Acrobat.com. The commercial proprietary Acrobat, available for Microsoft Windows and OS X only, can also create, edit, convert, digitally sign, encrypt, export and publish PDF files.

The cyber security specialization covers the fundamental concepts underlying the construction of secure systems, from the hardware to the software to the human-computer interface, with the use of cryptography to secure interactions. Cyber security refers to the protection of personal or organizational information or information resources from unauthorized access, attacks, theft, or data damage. This includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as well as protecting against the harm that may come via network access, data and code injection, and due to malpractice by operators, whether intentional, accidental, or due to them being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.

Cyber Security

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
