CMMC practice SC.L2-3.13.13 focuses on controlling and monitoring the use of mobile code. "Mobile code" refers to executable software transportable across systems, including mobile applications, scripts, and downloadable executable files.

Mobile applications for smartphones or tablets.
Executable scripts that can run on various devices.
Downloadable executable content that can be transferred and executed

How to do it:

Implement security controls to restrict unauthorized or unsafe mobile code usage.
Use monitoring and code analysis tools to identify suspicious or potentially harmful behaviors of mobile apps or scripts.
Define and enforce policies regarding mobile code usage, covering aspects such as app installation, script downloads, and access to sensitive resources.
Provide regular training to users on the secure use of mobile code, including instructions on recognizing and safely managing mobile apps or scripts.
Limit permissions granted to mobile apps only to those necessary for their intended functions, minimizing privileges and system resource access.
Ensure that mobile apps and scripts are regularly updated with the latest security patches. Monitor and apply security updates provided by developers.
Conduct periodic security assessments of mobile code used in the hybrid environment to identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security policies.

Security of mobile code is an ongoing process requiring a combination of technological controls, policies, training, and regular assessments to maintain a secure environment.

I hope it is clear

Hi LUCA PERRONE
Thanks for the response, but specially I'm looking for how to achieve that using Microsoft products and features either Windows server and Intune. In another word, which of Microsoft products that restrict unauthorized or unsafe mobile code usage.

forgive me I didn't understand, not being from Microsoft but an ordinary user I didn't think about what you might need in case, do some research on:

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: Advanced endpoint protection with features for prevention, detection, and response to security threats.

Azure Security Center: Cloud-based security service for protecting resources in Azure and hybrid environments, providing security monitoring and threat detection.

Microsoft Intune: Mobile device management solution for securely managing mobile devices and applications, allowing control over code execution on mobile devices.

Azure Active Directory (AAD): Cloud-based identity service for managing user access and authentication, enhancing security with multi-factor authentication.

Azure Monitor and Azure Security Center for Virtual Machines: Monitoring and security tools for virtual machine resources in Azure, enabling the detection of suspicious activities or threats.

Microsoft 365 Defender: Integrated security platform for Microsoft 365 users, offering protection against advanced threats, including those related to the execution of mobile code through documents or emails.

Azure Policy: Service for creating, assigning, and managing policies to enforce different rules and effects over resources in Azure.

Azure Sentinel: Cloud-native security information and event management (SIEM) service for analyzing and responding to security threats across the enterprise.

Microsoft Application Inspector: A source code analyzer that helps identify and understand components within a given codebase.

Microsoft Information Protection: A solution for classifying, labeling, and protecting sensitive information based on policies.

Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC): Helps prevent the execution of unauthorized code and scripts on Windows systems by using application control policies.

Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool: A tool for designing and analyzing application security, identifying potential security issues early in the design phase.
