Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for assessing risk associated with a software application on a user computing device in an enterprise networked environment. An application rating is generated for the software application based at least in part on application characteristics. A risk analysis for the installation of the application is generated based at least in part on the application rating, the user computing device, and user information.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program comprising:
-
code that generates an application rating of an application installed on a client device based at least in part on at least one application characteristic corresponding to the application and at least one rating rule; code that generates a device rating based at least in part on at least one device characteristic of the client device; code that determines a risk analysis associated with an installation of the application based at least in part on the application rating and the device rating; and code that performs an action based at least in part on a comparison of the risk analysis with a predetermined risk criterion. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A system, comprising:
-
at least one computing device; and at least one application executable in the at least one computing device, the at least one application comprising; logic that determines an application rating of an installed application on a client device based at least in part on at least one installation characteristic, at least one application characteristic, and at least one rating rule; logic that generates a risk analysis of an installation of the installed application on the client device based at least in part on the application rating and device information; and logic that initiates an action based at least in part on the risk analysis and at least one action rule. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, via at least one of one or more computing devices, a request to analyze a risk of an installation of an application on a client device; determining, via at least one of the one or more computing devices, a version of the application installed on the client device; generating, via at least one of the one or more computing devices, an application rating of the application based at least in part on the version, at least one application characteristic, and at least one rating rule; and generating, via at least one of the one or more computing devices, an analysis of the risk of the installation of the application based at least in part on the application rating and device information. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40)
