Prevent Malware and Unauthorized Software Applications with Application Control

Call Now – 0845 065 8243

Protect your organization against malware attacks before they occur by proactively controlling the applications executing on your desktops, laptops, servers, kiosks and POS systems with Lumension Application Control, a primary component of Lumension Endpoint Protection solution.

Centrally manage, monitor, and control applications with a whitelist approach that allows only authorized applications to run ensuring no malware, spyware, keyloggers, trojans, worms, viruses, zero-day threats and unwanted or unlicensed software will execute on your network and disrupt your business.

Lumension Application Control provides complete malware protection and increases IT and end-user productivity by preventing unwanted applications from causing configuration issues and consuming network bandwidth.

You’ll be audit-ready with a detailed audit trail of all application and device execution attempts along with proof that software licenses are in compliance. 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 other projects instead of constantly fixing computers.

How It Works

  • 1. Discover - Identify all executable files and devices, collect profiles and organize into pre-defined file groups.
  • 2. Implement – assign permissions for applications to run based on executable, user, or user group attributes. Use an application whitelist approach to ensure that only authorized and legal applications can run on a computer. When a user wants to run an application, the OS request at the kernel level is intercepted by the Lumension driver. If the user has rights, then access will be granted. If the application is not known or the user does not have rights, then access will be denied.
  • 3. Monitor – monitor the effectiveness of endpoint security policies in real time and identify potential threats by logging all application execution attempts and recording all policy changes and administrator activities.
  • 4. Report – demonstrate policy compliance and ensure software license compliance to meet Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA, PCI, and GLBA requirements by drilling down on suspicious behavior for security or legal follow-up.
  • Features & Benefits

    Application Whitelisting – Blocks Malware Attacks

    • Eliminates unknown or unwanted applications in your network, reducing the risk of malware and spyware and ultimately improving network stability

Automated Application Discovery – Saves Time and Improves Security

  • Provides flexible and fast options to create or update whitelists.

Standard File Definitions – Saves IT Operations Time and Effort

  • Speeds and simplifies whitelist definition with classified, pre-loaded whitelist of all supported OS files.

Device Control (Sanctuary)

Lumension Device Control (Sanctuary)

Enforce USB Security Policies for Removable Media Devices, Data Encryption and Port Protection with Lumension Device Control

Lumension Device Control, the primary component of Lumension Data Protection™ solution enforces organization-wide usage policies for removable devices, removable media, and data (such as read/write, encryption). Using a whitelist / “default deny” approach, administrators can centrally manage your devices and data. Lumension Device Control enables organizations to embrace productivity-enhancing tools while limiting the potential for data leakage and its impact.

How It Works

  • 1. Discover – identify all removable devices that are now or have ever been connected to your endpoints through the use of a “learning” mode that allows you to collect information without disrupting business.
  • 2. Assess – define rules at both default and machine-specific levels for groups and individual users with regards to device access by class, model and/or specific ID and uniquely identify and authorize specific media. These permissions can be linked to the user and user group information stored in Microsoft Active Directory or Novell eDirectory.
  • 3. Implement – enforce device and data usage policies by: file copy limitations (amount per day, time of day) and file type filtering. You can also enforce the encryption of data moved onto removable devices / media and apply permissions to specific and/or groups of endpoints, ports, devices and users (both on- and off-line), including scheduled / temporary access.
  • 4. Monitor – continuously monitor the effectiveness of device and data usage policies in real time and identify potential security threats by logging all device connections, recording all policy changes and administrator activities and tracking all file transfers by file name and content type. You can even keep a copy of every file that is transferred to or from a removable device using our patented bi-directional shadowing technology.
  • 5. Report – create both standard and customized reports on all device and data activity showing allowed and blocked events, which can be saved into a repository, shared via email, and/or imported into 3rd party applications. Detailed forensic reports and comprehensive auditing capabilities enable you to demonstrate compliance with internal security policies and external government and industry regulations such as SOX, HIPAA or PCI DSS
