Application Control
Application Control Solutions for Enhanced Security
In an era where cyber threats are constantly evolving, ensuring complete control over the applications used within your organisation is paramount. Application control solutions empower IT managers and business owners to secure their digital environments by managing access and restricting unauthorised applications. By implementing advanced solutions, your organisation can reduce risks and maintain operational efficiency.
What is Application Control and Why Is It Important?
Application control is a proactive security measure that allows organisations to determine which applications are permitted to run on their networks and devices. By managing application access, businesses can prevent unauthorised software from being executed, reducing vulnerabilities and maintaining compliance with security policies.
Key Features of Application Control:
- Whitelisting and Blacklisting: Control which applications can and cannot run within your organisation’s environment.
- Granular Access Controls: Define permissions for specific users or departments, ensuring they only access the applications they need.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously track application activity to identify and respond to potential threats.
- Policy Enforcement: Ensure adherence to organisational security policies by restricting unauthorised software.
- Integration with Security Frameworks: Seamlessly align application control with other security measures for a holistic approach.
Application control is essential for mitigating risks associated with malware, ransomware, and shadow IT, enabling IT managers to maintain a secure and compliant network.
Tailored Solutions for Comprehensive Application Control
Our application control solutions are designed to address a wide range of challenges faced by modern organisations:
- Proactive Defence Against Threats: Advanced threat detection ensures that suspicious applications are identified and blocked before they can cause harm.
- User-Friendly Interfaces: Intuitive dashboards make it easy for IT managers to implement and adjust policies.
- Comprehensive Application Insights: Gain visibility into application usage patterns and detect anomalies in real time.
These solutions combine robust functionality with ease of use, ensuring that businesses can safeguard their environments without introducing complexity.
Zero Trust vs Traditional Methods of Application Control
Zero Trust
For Zero Trust application control, on the other hand, assumes that no application is inherently trustworthy. It begins with a discovery phase to learn and establish a baseline of the applications and processes typically used within your organisation. Only explicitly authorised applications are permitted to run, and all activity is continuously verified and monitored in real time. This proactive approach minimises reliance on assumptions, enhances security by reducing potential attack surfaces, and ensures dynamic threat detection and response.

Traditional Methods
Traditional methods for application control typically rely on broad permissions, such as whitelists or blacklists, which allow pre-approved applications to run while blocking those deemed unsafe. While effective to an extent, this approach can leave gaps for unvetted or malicious software to exploit, relying heavily on post-incident responses to address vulnerabilities.
