Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for analyzing applications on a mobile device for risk so as to maintain the privacy of the application user are provided. In the example method, the process receives a request from a mobile device. The request includes a cryptographic representation of application information for an application residing on a mobile device. The method includes comparing the cryptographic representation to an application information database that includes cryptographic representations of applications. The method also includes automatically remediating, e.g., quarantining and retiring, the application if the application matches an application that is a known risk in the database. Exemplary embodiments provide companies with controls to prevent specific applications—which have specific behaviors and are present on mobile devices being used by employees—from being used by employees, without the company having any visibility into what particular applications are being used by the employees on the mobile device.
