Ensure that only trusted and approved software is allowed to execute on your endpoints.
Advantages of a Positive Security Model
By employing a Positive Security Model, Carbon Black App Control continuously protects against cyber threats that evade traditional security defenses. It provides effective security for often overlooked use cases such as EOL OS, critical systems, Fixed Function devices, and air-gapped systems.
- Positive security model
A Positive Security Model only allows access to trusted resources. Carbon Black App Control employs a positive security model to prevent unwanted changes to your critical systems.
- Flexible deployment
Carbon Black App Control protects your environment, whether on-premise or on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or hosted private clouds.
- Trusted content approval
Carbon Black App Control does not rely on easily outdated lists. It approves files with customizable mechanisms such as IT and cloud-driven trust, trusted publishers, custom rules and external sources.
Use Cases
- Secure critical systems
Critical Systems contain valuable data. They often run on legacy, end-of-life software. The cost of migrating proprietary applications and data from an EOL OS to a supported platform can be prohibitive. Carbon Black App Control protects your sensitive customer data, company finances, and confidential strategic assets with a Positive Security Model allowing only trusted software to run.
- Protect point-of-sales systems
Banking and Retail ATM and point of sale (POS) systems needed for transactions are targeted for the sensitive personal and financial data they contain. These systems are vulnerable because of their public facing locations. Physical security is not enough. Carbon Black App Control provides the security you need to protect customer data and transactions on these vulnerable fixed function devices.
- Software asset management
Software Asset Management (SWAM) identifies IT assets and security threats on a continuous, real-time basis. Without visibility into all the software running in your environment, there is no way to identify security gaps, or even what security is being used and by whom. Carbon Black App Control provides the visibility needed to enable your SWAM strategic plan.
