Title

Applications providing malicious code protection must support organizational requirements to update malicious code protection mechanisms (including signature definitions) whenever new releases are available in accordance with organizational configuration (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 caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated. 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.
