WebApp Sec: ActiveX controls within an Intranet Environment

[Marian Fitzgerald <Marian.Fitzgerald012 () msd govt nz>]

Hello all,

I am carrying out a risk assessment on an application that we are 
looking to deploy internally - however there is a dependency on ActiveX 
by the app. I am constantly receiving security updates on the 
vulnerabilities associated with using ActiveX but would like to be able 
to quantify the risks appropriately. Could you offer any input on this?
Thank you
Marian
