    Service Description
    Risk Based Application Patching

    When this service is enabled,

    • MaaS360 automatically enables the User Risk Management service, facilitating the use of a next-generation analytics engine to identify vulnerable third-party apps deployed across an organization and their associated vulnerabilities.
    • MaaS360 displays the Application security widget on the Security dashboard. This widget provides a comprehensive overview of vulnerable third-party apps deployed across an organization and their associated vulnerabilities, aiding in the detection and management of application security risks. The widget also displays the top 5 vulnerable apps in an organization that are sorted by severity.
    • MaaS360 displays the Application security risk rule in the Risk Rule Configurator, which is enabled by default and checks the application security posture of a device. When app vulnerabilities are detected, MaaS360 creates a risk incident and then validates it against this risk rule to calculate the severity and risk score for devices and users.
