Application Allowlisting
Most IT directors know that a default-deny allowlist is the strongest defense against ransomware and zero-day attacks. But they hesitate to implement it because traditional allowlisting tools are a nightmare to deploy.
They require weeks or months of learning modes, forcing teams to manually categorize thousands of software applications and updates. In the meantime, the network remains vulnerable to the exact threats you are trying to stop. If you rely on reactive antivirus or cumbersome application control alone, you are leaving the door wide open for cybercriminals to run malicious scripts, steal sensitive data, and encrypt your critical assets.
At PC Matic, we've spent two decades perfecting a better way. We believe achieving the foundation to zero-trust shouldn't require rebuilding your security posture from scratch or hiring dedicated staff to manage software approvals.
The SuperShield technology works out of the box, allowing you to skip the long learning modes and instantly lock down your network from today’s most sophisticated cyber threats.
SuperShield is highly adaptable. Use it as a lightweight, preventative layer on top of your existing EDR/XDR stack without causing conflicts, or deploy PC Matic Pro as a complete endpoint replacement.
Our allowlist methodology extends further than just software. PC Matic Pro automatically enforces strict device control and restricts malicious script and macro execution by default.
Instead of making you build local allowlists one application at a time, PC Matic Pro comes pre-loaded with a standalone, globally managed allowlist – SuperShield. Our team of US-based malware researchers have already verified over 22 billion applications.
Don't confuse true application allowlisting with basic application control. Application control will often allow a file to run simply because it belongs to a trusted program. Hackers know this, which is why they disguise modern malware and ransomware as legitimate software updates or piggyback on macros.
SuperShield inspects at the granular level. It doesn't just look at the program; it scrutinizes every single file, script, macro, process, and file extension. If a threat actor tries to execute anything that isn't on the global allowlist, it is blocked automatically.
Move from an exposed network to sophisticated default-deny protection without a months-long implementation process.

Rest assured SuperShield is monitoring all executables within your network, instantly blocking unknown software, scripts, and processes.
Imagine the relief of knowing your network is hardened against even the most sophisticated zero-day attacks. With PC Matic Pro’s SuperShield, you won't waste time chasing down alerts or waiting for legacy antivirus to update a blacklist. You'll have an automated, globally managed barrier that keeps malicious code off your system entirely, allowing your IT team to focus on growth, not crisis management.
