Applications scanning for malicious code must support organizational requirements to configure malicious code protection mechanisms to perform periodic scans of the information system on an organization-defined frequency.

V-35711 SRG-APP-000277-MAPP-NA SV-46998r1_rule Medium
Description
Malicious code protection mechanisms include but are not limited to anti-virus and malware detection software. In order to minimize potential negative impact to the organization that can be caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated. Malicious code includes, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware. It is not enough to simply have the software installed. This software must periodically scan the system to search for malware on an organization defined frequency. Rationale for non-applicability: Malicious code protections are implemented by the mobile operating system in conjunction with an MDM. Mobile applications within the scope of the SRG have no relationship to this functionality.
