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.

Application Control

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:

  1. Proactive Defence Against Threats: Advanced threat detection ensures that suspicious applications are identified and blocked before they can cause harm.
  2. User-Friendly Interfaces: Intuitive dashboards make it easy for IT managers to implement and adjust policies.
  3. 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.

VS.

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.

        Frequently asked questions - Application Control

        What is application control and why is it important?

        Application control prevents unauthorised software from running on your systems, protecting against malware, ransomware, and shadow IT. It forms a critical part of ADM’s layered Security Onion approach. With application control in place, you maintain full control over what’s allowed to run – reducing risk, improving compliance, and locking down entry points.

        What application control solutions do you offer?

        ADM partners with ThreatLocker, a leading zero trust application control platform, to provide granular control over what software can execute across your endpoints and servers. ThreatLocker combines allowlisting, ringfencing, storage control, and elevation control into a powerful, centralised solution. We can also support alternative platforms where appropriate.

        Is ThreatLocker suitable for small and mid-sized businesses?

        Yes. ThreatLocker is scalable, making it ideal for SMEs as well as larger organisations. With ADM’s flexible onboarding process, we implement policies that align with your current infrastructure – then help you evolve your setup as your needs grow. We also integrate ThreatLocker into our broader managed IT and cybersecurity offering for seamless protection.

        Can ADM help us define and manage application control policies?

        Definitely. We configure policies based on your workflows, risk profile, and industry requirements. We work with your internal team (if you have one) or manage everything on your behalf. And if something changes – like new software or staffing – we can adjust policies accordingly.

        How does application control fit into ADM’s wider security services?

        Application control is part of our broader Security Onion model – working alongside endpoint protection, firewall rules, identity access management, and cyber awareness training. Whether you use our full managed service or just want application control support, we ensure all layers work together to secure your business.

        How do you monitor and maintain application control over time?

        With ThreatLocker, we can monitor software requests, policy changes, and threat activity in real time. ADM also performs scheduled reviews, provides usage reporting, and ensures policies are tested and validated regularly – all discussed during your regular review meetings.

        Why choose ADM for application control and ThreatLocker deployment?

        As a certified ThreatLocker partner, ADM provides full deployment, configuration, policy design, and support – tailored to your business. With over 40 years of IT expertise and a 99.7% satisfaction score, we’re trusted by businesses across Kent and beyond to deliver solutions that work, without pushy sales or long-term lock-ins.
