The Application Control module adds another layer of protection against a wide range of malware threats (ransomware, zero-day attacks, exploits on third party applications, Trojans, spyware, rootkits, adware and so on) by blocking unauthorized applications and processes from running through its content scanning capabilities.

Application Control reduces the attack surface that malware threats can leverage on the endpoint and prevents the installation and execution of any unwanted, untrusted or malicious applications.
