The UEM server must verify the digital signature of software before installation and alert the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), Information System Security Manager (ISSM), and other designated personnel if unauthorized software is detected.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Unauthorized software not only increases risk by increasing the number of potential vulnerabilities, it also can contain malicious code. Sending an alert (in real time) when unauthorized software is detected allows designated personnel to take action on the installation of unauthorized software. This requirement applies to configuration management applications or similar types of applications designed to manage system processes and configurations (e.g., HBSS and software wrappers).
