NOTICE FROM THE FEDERAL OFFICE FOR INFORMATION SECURITY (BSI):
Excerpt from the german IT-Grundschutz Compendium
SYS.3.2.2.A14 – Use of external reputation services for apps
If the administrators of an institution cannot select the permitted apps themselves and users are allowed to install apps on their devices independently, a so-called reputation service should be used. This is an external service that examines apps according to certain criteria and provides the results as a service. The MDM should then use this information to at least restrict the installation of apps.
These and many other companies rely on products and services from mediaTest digital:
