By default, SEP Mobile includes Unwanted App rules for Sideloaded iOS apps, and for Sideloaded & risky Android apps. These rules can either be modified or removed by the administrator.

To create a new Unwanted App rule, hover over one of the existing rules and hit the + button, or hit the + button next to Add a new rule for detecting unwanted apps in your organization if you've previously removed the rules.

Select either Add Android apps definitions or Add iOS apps definitions

Create a name for the new rule.

Hit + next to Add app rules for the classifcation above.

Android apps can be defined as unwanted by a number of criteria, including:

• App identifiers
• App behavior
• Communication
• App performance
• State on device
• Advertisements
• App vulnerabilities
• Installation source
• Data leakage
• Standards

iOS apps can be defined by the criteria including:

Each Unwanted App rule is also assigned a risk level. Assign your defined rule with a corresponding risk level, either Low, Medium, or High risk.
