Embodiment Construction

[0012] Exemplary embodiments relate to policy-driven application scanning that provides entities, such as organizations or enterprises, with the ability to establish custom policies for scanning various mobile applications such that end users associated with those entities can only download or access those Mobile apps that comply with the policies affected by the scan.

[0013] now go to figure 1 , a system on which a policy-driven application scanning service (also referred to herein as a "scanning service") can be implemented will be described. figure 1 The system 100 shows a host system computer 102 and a mobile device 104 in communication with one or more networks 106 .

[0014] Host system computer 102 may be implemented as one or more high-speed computer processing devices, such as one or more mainframe computers capable of handling the intensive computing activities performed by end users of the exemplary scanning service. Host system computer 102 executes scan logic ...

Abstract

Policy-driven administration of mobile applications includes receiving a policy defined by a client system. The policy is defined by rules configured for implementation by a scanner and a compliance definition indicative of a threshold acceptability value for output of the implementation of the scanner on a mobile application. The policy-driven administration also includes executing the scanner for the mobile application and identifying an association between a mobile device and the client system. The policy-driven administration of mobile applications further includes controlling access to the mobile application by the mobile device based on results of executing the scanner using the compliance definition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mobile applications, and more particularly, to policy-driven management of mobile applications. Background technique [0002] Organizations that provide devices to their members or allow devices into organizational spaces face the challenge of malicious apps that can infect devices or, even worse, gain unauthorized access to organizational data. Many known apps collect data from or through these devices and use that data in ways that are not acceptable given an organization's policies. For example, some apps may collect data about a device user, or use aspects of a device to obtain privileged information about an organization. Contents of the invention [0003] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for implementing a scanning service is provided. The method includes receiving, at a computer processor, a policy defined by a client system. The policy is defined according to rules configured t...
