Abstract
In one approach, a request for software evaluation is received by an evaluation server from a user device. The request relates to software to be installed on the user device. In response to receiving the request, the evaluation server sends data associated with the software to an authenticity server. The evaluation server receives, from the authenticity server, a result from the evaluation of the software. The evaluation server determines based on the result whether a security threat is associated with the software. In response to determining that there is a security threat, the evaluation server sends a communication to the user device that causes the software to be quarantined.
