Block Unapproved Software Before It Becomes a Security Incident

Even with patched software and restricted privileges, an attacker who gains a foothold will try to run their own malicious tools. Application control stops this by only permitting approved, trusted applications to execute, blocking everything else by default, including malware, unauthorised scripts, and unapproved software.
