Application Whitelisting + Control

☂️ Meets cyber security insurance requirement

What is it?

Application Allowlisting permits only approved applications to execute, thereby automatically blocking untrusted programs, which includes ransomware and various types of malware.

Why it's important?

Application Allowlisting is recognized as a top-tier defense for enterprises against all types of malware. Different from antivirus solutions, it gives Puma’s engineers the power to dictate exactly which applications, scripts, and executables are permitted on their networks, effectively preventing both known threats and unauthorized software from executing. This method drastically reduces the risk of cyber-attacks and unapproved software operating within your network.

How it works:

Puma will implement a plan to roll out Application whitelisting across your organization. Once installed, we first configure it to operate in Learning Mode. During this period, all applications and their dependencies found on the computer are cataloged and polices are created to permit them. After the learning period, Puma’s engineers can review the list of applications, remove those that are not required, and secure the computers. Once the computers are secured, any untrusted applications, script or library that try to execute will be denied. The staff can request new software from the IT administrator, and it can be approved in 60 seconds.
