Applications and Plug-Ins Not Approved For Use
For any given piece of software, either an application or a plug-in/add-in, to be approved for use on the Emory networks, it needs to be reviewed against a number of factors - and security is one of the foremost factors evaluated. If a particular piece of software does not meet certain minimum security standards, it won't be approved for use on Emory networks.
