McAfee Application Control gives enterprises an effective way to block unauthorized applications on servers and endpoints. Unlike simple whitelisting, Application Control uses a dynamic trust model, which eliminates the need for tedious manual updates to approved lists. As enterprises face an avalanche of unknown software from the web, this centrally managed solution adds a timely control to your systems security strategy, attuned to the operational needs of enterprises.
Complete protection from unwanted applications - Application Control extends coverage to Java, ActiveX controls, scripts, batch files, and specialty code for greater control over application components.
Viable security for fixed-function and legacy systems - Application Control uniquely extends a layer of protection to fixed-function devices, such as kiosks and point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and to legacy Microsoft Windows NT and 2000 systems.
Flexible, affordable, and secure- Application Control dynamically manages whitelists, making it easy to support multiple configurations for different business needs: POS terminals, back-office servers, and multiple desktop images for different user profiles.
Scalable, centralized management -Application Control leverages your investment in the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform. McAfee ePO software provides remote deployment, which means you can easily manage and report on large enterprise rollouts from a central location.
Features & Benefits
Reduce risks from unauthorized applications Block unwanted applications and their risks. Users can unintentionally introduce software that installs malware, creates support issues, and violates software licenses — compromising systems and your overall business. McAfee Application Control allows only trusted applications to run on your endpoints and servers.
Save time and lower costs with dynamic whitelisting Minimize administrator time with a trust model, which allows authorized administrators to define trusted update sources.
Get comprehensive code protection Stop unauthorized applications and malware — whether binaries, kernel components, DLLs, ActiveX controls, scripts, or Java components — from executing. For greater security, Application Control protects approved applications from being corrupted by allowing only authorized applications to make changes.
Extend the lifespan of legacy systems Lock down system configurations with the help of Application Control. This is particularly useful as your older systems lose vendor support, and helps alleviate the need to patch these systems.
Safeguard critical systems, field units, and fixed-function devices Take advantage of our transparent model — it is compact enough for small fixed-function devices, consuming less than 10 MB of RAM and minimal CPU.
Manage centrally, easily, and more effectively Optimize and simplify management with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform. With the ePO platform, you can oversee and administer all your security protections from a single, centralized console. Application Control integrates easily and completely with the ePO platform to deliver significant operational efficiencies that save you time and money.
