Abstract

Software applications to be installed on user devices are monitored. Authenticity of the applications is evaluated using trust factors. In some cases, the trust factors relate to security associated with a network being accessed by a user device. In response to the evaluation, an action is performed such as configuring or disabling execution of one or more components of an application.
