Application Whitelisting

Application whitelisting is the process of creating a list of trusted applications and allowing only those apps to run on managed devices. The concept of allowing only what you trust cannot be taken lightly, considering applications tend to be the route through which cyberattacks occur, leading to either major financial losses or massive data leakage.

What is application blacklisting?

Application blacklisting is a technique used to prevent certain applications or executables from running in a network. If application whitelisting is a proactive threat prevention technique, then application blacklisting is more like damage control. ManageEngine Application Control Plus' application blacklisting software simplifies blacklisting by enabling policy-based list creation and updating.

Flexibility regulator

Every enterprise, regardless of size, has different application control requirements. Traditional application control solutions might not satisfy the needs of all the enterprises alike. ManageEngine's Application Control Plus is a smart solution that can meet the demands of different kinds of enterprises of all sizes. Application Control Plus functions in several modes, each built to satisfy various levels of flexibility preferred by different enterprises.

What is endpoint privilege management?

Endpoint privilege management is the process of governing privileges so that admin privileges aren't excessively distributed among users. This prevents users from exploiting functions beyond their requirements, which is a common risk of elevating the entire user account privilege. With 80 percent of security breaches involving privileged credentials, endpoint privilege management is crucial for effective security. If an attacker gets their hands on a set of privileged credentials, they would be able to access all the endpoints present in your organization in no time, easily stealing data or injecting malware.
