Introduction
Critical updates are intended to fix potential security risks in Business Objects Crystal products and SDKs. These updates are highly recommended to ensure the security of Crystal products.
For information on securing web applications using Crystal products or their Web API, refer to our best practices whitepaper (PDF - 55KB).
