However, the page shows that Carbon Black is unavailable and the user is unsure how to edit the apps or why they are not being detected. Others chimed in to explain that security controls can be checked through scans or device inventory, and the unavailable status means there is no built-in remediation for the app. It was suggested to disable the unnecessary controls in the template to avoid confusion.
