Application Control Plus
Enforce allow/deny execution policies to stop unauthorised apps on endpoints.
"Reduces endpoint risk by allowing only approved applications to run and blocking everything else."
Block unauthorised executables and enforce execution policies on managed endpoints
Stopping unauthorised executables is a common operational headache. Unknown binaries, ad-hoc installs and remote users make it hard to apply a consistent execution policy and to know what’s actually running on endpoints.
Application Control Plus lets teams enforce centrally managed allow/deny rules, keep an estate-wide application inventory and block or restrict unknown or risky executables. That brings clearer execution control at device level and provides logs and inventory data for operational checks and compliance evidence.
Where Application Control Plus is used
Lock down user desktops in regulated environments by allowing only approved installers and blocking unknown binaries. Apply consistent execution rules across remote and branch endpoints while collecting inventory and execution logs to support investigations.
Use the product to reduce the attack surface from shadow IT, and to give central IT a single place to define which executables are permitted across managed devices.
Suitable environments
Fits Windows-dominant, centrally managed estates where a small or mid-sized IT team needs straightforward execution control. Works well in regulated industries or organisations with distributed workforces that require enforced policies and app inventory without adding heavy operational overhead.
Benefits
Reduce attack surface
Limits the applications that can run on endpoints, reducing the risk of malware and unauthorised software.
Prevent unauthorised software
Stops users from running unapproved applications that could introduce security or compliance risks.
Improve endpoint security
Enforces strict application control policies to protect endpoints from malicious and unwanted software.
Ensure consistent policy enforcement
Applies application control policies across all endpoints to maintain consistent security standards.
Support compliance requirements
Provides visibility and control over application usage to help meet regulatory and internal policy requirements.
Increase visibility of application usage
Provides insight into which applications are running and being blocked across the environment.
Reduce security incidents
Prevents execution of malicious or unauthorised software, lowering the likelihood of endpoint compromise.
