Application Control
Application allowlisting and blocklisting
Application Control enables precise control over which applications can be run on endpoints through allowlist, blocklist, and category-based control policies. The system uses hash verification, certificate validation, and path rules to identify applications. Audit mode allows monitoring without blocking before restrictive policies are deployed, and integration with PAM enables privilege elevation for approved applications.
