Configure Cisco Secure Endpoint policy groups, detection and blocking settings, and connector deployment aligned to host risk. This response applies to Cisco Secure Endpoint antimalware policy, not the controlling requirement in this case. Endpoint policy efficacy depends on correct host enrollment, file disposition, behavior detection, and controlled exclusions.

This response applies to MDM device enrollment and inventory, not the controlling requirement in this case. A managed device inventory links technical posture to accountability; simply knowing an IP address does not establish device trust. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Use supported device management controls to enforce software update, application inventory, and secure configuration requirements for endpoints. Situation: An IT team needs to remove a prohibited remote desktop app from company-issued laptops without deleting legitimate tools.
