App Whitelisting
App whitelisting is a security measure used to ensure that only approved applications are allowed to run on a computer or network. This technology helps protect against malicious software, such as viruses, by only allowing trusted applications and programs to be installed and executed. Whitelisted apps have been manually checked for safety and verified by the user or administrator of the system. Without whitelisting, an attacker could easily exploit vulnerabilities in an application to gain access to confidential data or take control of the entire system. By restricting access to only vetted applications, organizations can better secure their networks and keep their information safe from cyber threats.
