Title

Applications providing malicious code protection must support organizational requirements to be configured to perform organization-defined action(s) in response to malicious code detection. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Malicious code protection mechanisms include but are not limited to anti-virus and malware detection software. 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. Applications providing this capability must be able to perform actions in response to detected malware. Responses include, but are not limited to, quarantine, deletion, and alerting. Malicious code includes, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware. 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.
