Why each option
The false statement about Application Control is that it is non-transparent and requires changes to endpoint applications.
Application control can indeed be configured to limit user interaction to specific screens or functions within an application, providing granular access control.
Application controls, particularly those integrated with data access policies, can restrict users to requesting or accessing only specific records through an application.
Modern application control and security solutions typically include robust logging and auditing capabilities to record application usage for compliance, forensic analysis, and security monitoring.
Application control solutions are generally designed to operate transparently to endpoint applications, enforcing policies on what applications can run or how they behave without requiring modifications to the applications themselves. Requiring application changes would make deployment and management prohibitively complex for most organizations, especially for third-party software.
