Windows 7 AppLocker

Hi,

 

 

Windows 7 addresses the growing desire for application control solutions in the enterprise with the introduction of AppLocker: a simple and flexible mechanism that allows administrators to specify exactly what is allowed to run in their desktop environment. As a result, AppLocker provides not only security protections, but also operational and compliance benefits by:

 

* Keeping unlicensed software from running in your desktop environment

 

* Preventing vulnerable, unauthorized applications from running in your desktop environment, including malware

 

* Stopping users from running applications that needlessly consume network bandwidth or otherwise impact the enterprise computing environment

 

* Preventing users from running applications that destabilize their desktop environment and increase helpdesk support costs

 

* Easing enterprise software deployments and maintenance through effective desktop configuration management

 

* Allow users to install and run approved applications and software updates based upon their business needs

 

* Helping ensure your desktop environment is in compliance with corporate policies and industry regulations such as PCI DSS, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Basel II, and others
