McAfee Application Control Overview:
McAfee Application Control uses dynamic whitelisting
to ensure that only trusted applications run on
servers and endpoints. This provides IT with the
greatest degree of visibility and control over
endpoints, and helps enforce software license
compliance. Additionally, McAfee Application Control
extends the viability of fixed function systems,
without impacting system performance.
Description:
Today’s IT departments face tremendous pressure
to ensure that their endpoint and servers comply
with many different security policies, operating
procedures, and regulations. Extending the viability
of fixed function devices such as point-of-sale
(POS) terminals, customer service terminals, and
legacy NT platforms has become critical.
With McAfee Application Control, IT departments
now have a way to eliminate unauthorized software on
endpoints and servers, while providing employees
greater flexibility to use the resources they need
to get their jobs done. McAfee’s dynamic
whitelisting trust model eliminates the labor and
cost associated with other whitelisting
technologies, thereby reducing overhead and
increasing continuity.
