Vulnerability discussion

Unauthorized third-party software is challenging the security posture of DoD. Most established vendors have developed a patch management process that prevents risk, resulting in an estimated 80 percent of threats arising from third-party software. Preventing users from installing third-party software limits organizational exposure. Additionally, preventing installation of untrusted software further reduces risk to the network. Vendors that prevent installation of all third-party software meet the intent of this requirement.
