AI-suggested
1. Immediately implement strict policies to avoid opening Illustrator files from untrusted or unknown sources. 2. Use sandboxing or isolated environments for opening files from external sources to contain potential exploitation. 3. Employ endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting anomalous behavior related to code execution in Illustrator. 4. Monitor user activity and network traffic for signs of exploitation attempts, especially in creative departments. 5. Educate users about the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious files and encourage verification of file origins. 6. Once Adobe releases an official patch, prioritize its deployment across all affected systems. 7. Consider application whitelisting to restrict execution of unauthorized code. 8. Maintain regular backups of critical design files to mitigate data loss in case of compromise.
