Application whitelisting ensures only approved apps are installed, reducing the risk of malware and unauthorized software.
Application whitelisting is a cybersecurity strategy that allows only approved applications to execute on a system while blocking all others. By creating a list of trusted applications, organizations can prevent the execution of unauthorized software and potential malware infections. This approach enhances security by reducing the attack surface and mitigating the risks associated with running unknown or unapproved applications on a system. Whitelisting can also help maintain system integrity, improve compliance with security policies, and enhance overall cybersecurity defenses.
