Prevent Unauthorized Software and Reduce Endpoint Security TCO with Application Whitelisting

The battle to protect the IT assets from malware and unauthorized software is a costly, ongoing struggle taking up valuable resources and time. Each time a new malware threat appears or unsupported software causes a compatibility conflict, IT has to stop what they’re doing to resolve the issue. Whether that’s updating antivirus signatures to ensure that systems and information are protected or re-imaging laptops due to software conflict blue-screens, the end result is an increased support burden and lower operational efficiency.

Secure Endpoints, Servers, Kiosks and POS Systems from Malware

The threats aren’t going to stop and antivirus software alone cannot control the problem as malware threats are being developed faster than the necessary fixes. Malware has grown over 500% with more than 5.49 million unique samples of malicious software in 20071 and 2008 has seen the rise of targeted attacks,
which are now being designed to specifically bypass antivirus solutions.

Lumension Application Control enables you to prevent the execution of malicious code utilizing application whitelisting. This approach allows only authorized applications to run on laptops, PCs, servers, terminal services servers and thin clients without relying on antivirus signature-updates, freeing up network bandwidth and IT resources.

With no viral attacks to thwart, malware to hunt down, or incompatible applications to invoke the blue screen of death, you can spend more time on more strategic activities instead of constantly fixing computers.

“Lumension enables me to explicitly list the applications that are allowed to run on our banks’ machines. All other executables – including any malicious code – simply will not run.
