Application Baseline
We use the CTEM Vulnerability Scan Agent to scan for any installed Application or Service on assets. Once identified, you can classify them as Denied or Mandatory based on the rule(s) you configure. The results will then be published on the Application Baseline Results screens.
You can use the application baseline rules to check your required software(s). An example would be having the scan agent confirm/validate your desired Antivirus, RMM, Remote Control, and any other monitoring agents/software you use.
NOTE: The CTEM agent does not install or remove software/services from an asset. We simply flag it as needed to be installed or removed and provide the evidence.
- Settings < 'CTEM' < 'Application Baseline'
Add Application Baseline Rule
Tap on Add to create a new rule.
Complete the required fields.
Notes: If the Application Name/Service Name is not found in the dropdown, the manually entered value must exactly match the Application Name or Service Name shown in the system, for proper data validation.
- Exact Application Name can be found under Add/remove Programs.
- Exact Service Name can be found under Services.
| Field Name | Description |
| Name | Sets the name of the rule defined by the user. |
| OS Type | Select from Windows, macOS, or Linux. This will limit the rule to the selected operating system. |
| OS Name | Set the desired operating system to target the rule. Ex: Windows Server 2019 or simply Windows (to target all OS versions) |
| Type | Select between Application or Service; this sets the rule to search and target an application or service name on the endpoints. |
| Denied Application/Service | Displays the application(s) or service(s) defined in the rule that should not be present on the targeted endpoints. A match flags the endpoint as out of baseline. |
| Mandatory Applications/Services | Displays the application(s) or service(s) defined in the rule that must be present on the targeted endpoints. A missing item flags the endpoint as out of baseline. |
We can Edit and Delete the created Application Baseline from Actions.
