![]() | Blacklisting undesirable applications still has its uses. However, with today's more dynamic computing environments, rapidly evolving threat landscape, and rigorous compliance mandates, blacklisting has reached its limits. Its heavy signature requirements make it unwieldy, the need for systems to regularly call home for signature updates make it inconvenient. Not to mention, it's also reactive: Blacklisting requires having advanced knowledge of the application (signature) and an unbeatable sensory method for reading signs of malicious activity. Because of these inconveniences, application whitelisting (allowing only approved applications to run and blocking all others) is making its way into IT organizations to achieve compliance and protect systems from malicious applications executing on them. This white paper defines why application whitelisting is important, differentiates the two approaches to application control (whitelist vs. blacklist), and discusses where the adoption of application whitelisting is most applicable. It discusses the applicability of application whitelisting on dedicated systems and in enterprise cases, while examining compliance implications and offering best practices.

![]() | Companies often have a difficult time preventing endpoints and servers from deviating from corporate standards. Users may install unauthorized applications while on or off the corporate network that may introduce malware, present support issues, or create software licensing risks. With its industry-leading whitelisting technology, McAfee® Application Control ensures that only trusted applications run on servers and endpoints while permitting software updates from authorized sources. This provides IT with the greatest degree of visibility and control over endpoints and also helps enforce software license compliance. Additionally, as companies strive to extend the viability of fixed function systems (Microsoft Windows NT legacy or low footprint), Application Control also extends an extra layer of protection without impacting system performance.

![]() | Most IT organizations today recognize the centrality of change to their operational effectiveness. Many have invested in process automation tools such as a Change Management system or a Service Desk. Yet, a gap persists between actual change activity and the documented Change Management process. This change control gap results in manual activity by IT departments to control and minimize the costs of change. Change Control bridges this gap by adding control to change management. This is accomplished by providing customers with real-time detection of changes being made, accountability to validate change activity and real-time change prevention to block unwanted changes. Change Control easily automates PCI and SOX controls for compliance reporting, locks down critical systems to ensure only trusted applications run, and prevents change-related outages for improved service availability and accelerated ITIL adoption. Change Control is an operational-friendly, low-touch and low overhead software that can be deployed on a wide range of hardware platforms. Change Control provides change control on servers, network devices (including switches, routers and firewalls), and databases. Request Free! |

![]() | When choosing between proprietary and open source security solutions, many organizations are misled by open source myths. As a result, they ask the wrong questions when evaluating their options and unnecessarily limit their IT solutions. Is it risky to trust mission-critical infrastructure to open source software? Why should we pay an open source vendor when open source is supposed to be free? Will a shift to open source add complexity to our IT infrastructure? These questions all arise from open source myths that this Spanish language white paper will explain and dispel, allowing IT decision makers to focus on more important organizational issues: return-on-investment, ease-of-use, agility, reliability, and control.
