Explanation
Application whitelisting/blacklisting refers to a security approach where the system permits or prohibits specific applications from executing on endpoints based on predefined rules or lists. By implementing application whitelisting/blacklisting, the security engineer can enforce policies to either allow only approved applications (whitelisting) or prevent specific applications from running (blacklisting) across all corporate PCs. This technology enables granular control over the software permitted on the network, enhancing security by restricting unauthorized or potentially harmful applications.
