INTEGRATED APPLICATION ANALYSIS AND ENDPOINT PROTECTION

Abstract:

An indication of an application to be installed on a local device is received. A request is transmitted to a remote server for information associated with the application. In some cases, in response to the receipt of a report from the remote server, a set of rules restricting behaviors of the application is implemented at the local device. In some cases, in response to the receipt of a report from the remote server, the installation of the application on the local device is prevented.
