Title

Applications providing malicious code protection must support organizational requirements to address the receipt of false positives during malicious code detection, eradication efforts, and the resulting potential impact on the availability of the information system. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

In order to minimize potential negative impact to the organization that can be caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated. Malicious code includes, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware. Applications providing this capability must have an ability to address the issue of false alerts. False alerts can overwhelm reporting and administrative interfaces making it difficult to identify the true threat. A filtering capability that serves to identify and remove false positives is often employed to address this issue. Rationale for non-applicability: Malicious code protections are implemented by the mobile operating system in conjunction with an MDM. Mobile applications within the scope of the SRG have no relationship to this functionality.
