What is Application Allowlisting?

Application Allowlisting grants IT professionals the ability to curate an “allowed list” of all software and applications that are explicitly required for the day-to-day operations of their company and block everything else from running, including malware, by default.  

A blocklisting tool would prevent only known cyber threats from running, and a traditional EDR looking for these known threats can complicate alert-based security through false positives and false negatives. Allowlisting removes risks from both of these tools by blocking all known and unknown malware as well as untrusted applications and software, preventing everything else from running that is not specifically authorized by your team.
