Reduce risk from unauthorized applications and gain stronger endpoint control

 

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.

 

Benefits and Features:

 

Benefits:

  • Gain complete protection against unwanted applications
    Today’s organizations struggle with ensuring that endpoints comply with corporate IT standards.  End users can unintentionally introduce software that poses a risk to the business. What is needed is a way to standardize endpoints without impacting end-user productivity.  McAfee Application Control augments traditional security solutions, enabling IT to allow only approved software to run, and to easily block unauthorized or vulnerable applications that may compromise endpoints—without imposing operational overhead.
     
  • Extend the business viability of constrained systems
    Well suited for point-of-sale (POS) machines in retail environments, imaging devices in healthcare, and legacy NT systems that are often constrained in terms of CPU or memory resources, McAfee Application Control has already been deployed on thousands of devices worldwide. It locks down these systems against unwanted changes, with no file system scanning or other periodic activity that could impact system performance. It is equally effective in standalone mode without network access, and has been designed to operate in a variety of network and firewall configurations.

Features:

  • Dynamic whitelisting via a trusted source
    McAfee Application Control eliminates the need for IT administrators to manually maintain lists of approved applications. This enables IT departments to adopt a flexible approach where a repository of trusted applications can run on endpoints. This prevents execution of all unauthorized software scripts and dynamic link libraries (DLLs), and further defends against memory exploits
     
  • Low overhead footprint
    McAfee Application Control runs transparently on endpoints, and can be set up quickly, with very low initial and ongoing operational overhead
     
  • Minimal impact on CPU cycles
    McAfee Application Control uses less then 10 MB of RAM, with no file system scanning that could affect system performance
