Trusted by Experts, Built for the Real World, and Made in America
In today’s cyber landscape, application allowlisting stands out as one of the most powerful tools to prevent attacks before they happen. But for small and mid-sized businesses, implementing it has traditionally felt overwhelming. PC Matic changes that.
During the recent webinar, “Application Allowlisting: A Critical Step for CMMC Success,” cybersecurity experts Adam Austin, Owner of Totem Technologies, and Willie Crenshaw, cybersecurity consultant, joined Corey Munson, VP of PC Matic to discuss how businesses can make allowlisting work for them.
“They Take the Fear Away”
“The main problem with allowlisting is that we just don’t know where to start. PC Matic takes that fear away.” — Adam Austin, Totem Technologies
For small business owners juggling limited time, budget, and expertise, PC Matic offers a solution that’s as powerful as it is accessible.
What Makes PC Matic Different?
PC Matic delivers allowlisting through a two-pronged approach:
- Global Allowlist – Maintained by a U.S.-based malware research team, this pre-approved list helps you secure systems right away—without having to build a custom list from scratch.
- Local Allowlisting – Customize approvals for your unique software needs, without needing to write scripts or run PowerShell commands.
“Most small businesses don’t have the administrative horsepower to manage allowlisting themselves. PC Matic’s global list gives them a head start.” — Adam Austin
Praised by Industry Veterans
Willie Crenshaw, a former NASA executive and federal cybersecurity leader, described PC Matic’s approach as a game-changer:
“One of the things that really attracted me to PC Matic was the fact they had a global team that actually put eyeballs on the code. That’s huge.”
Crenshaw emphasized how hard it is, even for federal agencies, to track the origin of software, especially as supply chain attacks grow. PC Matic provides confidence by keeping its operations, development, and support 100% Made in America.
Ideal for CMMC and Beyond
While PC Matic is especially effective for businesses preparing for CMMC Level 2 or 3 compliance, its value goes far beyond defense contracting. Any organization handling sensitive data—PII, financial info, proprietary R&D—can benefit from a “default deny” strategy.
Allowlisting makes antivirus and EDR tools more effective, cuts down on alert fatigue, and helps meet both compliance and cyber insurance requirements.
Designed for Any Size Business
From one-person contractors to mid-size tech teams, PC Matic is helping organizations across the country lock down their systems, without locking themselves into complex, high-overhead solutions.
“We use it in our Single PC Hardening Guide. It’s simple enough for non-technical users, but strong enough for federal compliance.” — Adam Austin
