Application Control and Whitelisting

Dynamic whitelisting and application control help ensure only authorized programs and code run

In response to a recent SC Magazine article written by Fortify's Rob Rachwald titled "Hacking - The corporate cover-up," applications are the current targets, not the network. Once adopting a business software assurance program, you need to be able to implement this operationally into the environment. Utilizing dynamic whitelisting with application control can provide the granular access to the application; protect the application data, memory and required system resources; and ultimately easily enforce and report against BSA programs. Having the tools to continue to learn know who is making changes with real-time integrity monitoring and the ability to receive events of unauthorized changes provides the means to understand and gain first-hand insight. The helps you ward off ever getting "the call" from an outside source that either your infrastructure has been compromised or that cardholder data has been compromised.
