Application Allowlisting Explained: In the field of Information Security, Allowlisting is an endpoint security solution that only allows tested, safe and approved applications to run on a device, computer or network system. Allowlisting security works in real-time and automatically updates to guarantee complete business data protection blocking all ransomware, malware, trojans, malicious scripts and other viruses.
For small business and enterprise networks including cloud-managed services, allowlisting is the best endpoint security, antivirus and malware protection for IT professionals and OT (Operational Technology) departments.
Allowlisting provides superior vulnerability management and business threat protection. Time that would normally be spent on disaster recovery and business continuity plans can be better used to manage which software applications, downloads and executable files are permitted to be present on a device, computer system, or data network.
The ultimate goal of allowlisting application software solutions is to completely protect computers and networks from hackers, ransomware and malware that can disrupt business operations by holding your data hostage. Explore PC Matic's award-winning and patented Endpoint Business Security Suite.
