Application Whitelisting
Block all unauthorized applications and malware from running on your computer.
Unlike traditional "blacklisting" solutions, such as antivirus software, that attempt to detect and remove infected files and applications running on a computer, application whitelisting products deny the operation of applications and executables that are not on an approved "whitelist" created by the user or administrator. By ensuring that only approved applications can run, application whitelisting products automatically block all unauthorized applications—including viruses and rogue applications that may have been inadvertently downloaded from email, websites, or social media, for example.
Traditional antivirus products do not provide full computer protection from unauthorized applications. According to a December 2010 Gartner Group report A Buyer's Guide to Endpoint Protection Platforms, signature-based antivirus products detect only 25% to 50% of new threats.
GlobalSCAPE offers both business and consumer application whitelisting products. Both complement your existing antivirus software by acting as a user or administrator controlled final layer of defense, blocking all unapproved applications, including new viruses not detected by many antivirus software products.
