Heimdal Application Control
Blocks unauthorised executables with central allowlisting and execution rules.
Heimdal Application Control — allowlisting and execution control for endpoints
Malicious and unauthorised applications still reach endpoints and increase incident risk. Organisations need deterministic control over what runs on company devices to reduce exposure and simplify investigations.
Heimdal Application Control lets administrators centralise allowlists and execution rules so only approved binaries run. It blocks unauthorised execution and lowers the chance of unwanted software running on managed devices.
The product is relevant where teams require clear, enforceable control of endpoint behaviour—for example in regulated sectors, remote or hybrid workforces, or where security staff are small.
How organisations typically use Heimdal Application Control
Lock down corporate laptops and shared workstations to prevent installers and unauthorised tools from executing. This reduces the number of usable attack vectors and narrows what responders must investigate.
Harden admin and sensitive user stations by restricting which utilities and scripts can run, lowering the risk of privilege misuse or lateral movement.
Suitable for MSPs and IT teams that need repeatable, centrally managed policies across customer or business units, especially where endpoints are predominantly Windows.
Where this product best fits
Best fit where Windows endpoints predominate, teams need central policy control, and security staff are small or stretched. It helps organisations with remote or hybrid work patterns enforce consistent execution rules.
May be less suitable where estates are highly heterogeneous with large numbers of non-Windows devices or where organisations expect a managed detection or 24x7 monitoring service. The product focuses on execution control rather than outsourced monitoring.
How organisations typically engage with Armstrong
Armstrong may support implementation, configuration and ongoing support for Heimdal Application Control. Engagements typically involve SMEs and mid-market businesses, MSP customers, organisations with mainly Windows endpoints, remote or hybrid workforces, regulated sectors, and organisations with small or no dedicated security teams.
