Application Control protects your organization against malware attacks before they occur by proactively controlling the applications that run on your devices. Change Control blocks change activities in server environments to prevent security breaches and data loss, and lowers the impact of outages.
Dynamic whitelisting
You can manage your whitelist in a secure and dynamic way. IT administrators don't need to manually maintain lists of approved applications. Application Control groups executables (binaries, libraries, and drivers) across your company.
Protection against threats
Application Control extends coverage to executable files, libraries, drivers, Java applications, and scripts for greater control over application components. It enforces control on connected or disconnected servers, virtual machines, endpoints, and fixed devices, such as kiosks and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. It also locks down protected endpoints against threats and unwanted changes, with no file system scanning or other periodic activity that might impact system performance.
Knowledge acquisition
You can switch to Observe mode to discover policies for dynamic desktop environments without enforcing a whitelist lockdown. This mode helps you deploy the software in pre-production environments without affecting the operation of existing applications.

Centralized management
Application Control integrates with Trellix ePO - On-prem software for consolidated and centralized management, and a global view of enterprise security from a single console.

Write protection
Use write protection rules to prevent users from creating and changing files and directories. Write-protecting a file makes it read-only.
Read protection
Read protection rules prevent users from reading the content of specified files, directories, and volumes. If a directory or volume is read-protected, all files in that directory or volume are also read-protected. Subdirectories inherit read protection rules.
Real-time monitoring
Change Control monitors file changes in real time, eliminating need for multiple scans on endpoints to identify change violations.
Content change tracking
Change Control tracks content and attribute changes for files and includes special alerting mechanisms to instantly notify you of critical changes.
