Unauthorized mobile code detection

There are separate instructions for staff to use mobile devices. The instructions cover:

• restrictions on installing software and using various services on your organization's devices
• procedures for the registration of new devices
• requirements for physical protection of equipment and installation of updates
• access control requirements
• protecting your organization’s data with encryption, malware protection, and backup
• the ability of the organization to remotely control the device

Unmanaged installations of software on computers can lead to vulnerabilities and security breaches.

The organization should determine what types of software or updates each user can install. The instructions may include e.g. the following guidelines:

• only specially designated persons may install new software on the devices
• programs previously designated as secure may be installed by anyone
• use of certain software may be impossible for everyone
• existing software updates and security patches are allowed to be installed by anyone

Our organization has defined policies in place to prevent or at least detect the use of unauthorized programs.
