Application Policies

Malicious Applications

Applications that have both risky capabilities and have malicious intents are categorized as malicious applications by the Mobile Security Behavioral Risk Engine (BRE). Their risk level is always set to High and you cannot configure it.

Risky Applications

Applications that have bad reputation or that may pose a security risk to the organization are considered to be risky applications.
