DE.CM-4.1: Anti-virus, -spyware, and other -malware programs shall be installed and updated.
  • Malware includes viruses, spyware, and ransomware and should be countered by installing, using, and regularly updating anti-virus and anti-spyware software on every device used in company’s business (including computers, smart phones, tablets, and servers).
  • Anti-virus and anti-spyware software should automatically check for updates in “real-time” or at least daily followed by system scanning as appropriate.
  • It should be considered to provide the same malicious code protection mechanisms for home computers (e.g. teleworking) or personal devices that are used for professional work (BYOD).
