Application Whitelisting Made Easy
The polar opposite to blacklisting, whitelisting allows only a collection of explicitly authorized programs that are deemed as safe to run on your machine. Whitelisting for the 21st Century has evolved into a modern solution that offers a flexible and easy-to-use platform for today’s dynamic environments. Faronics Anti-Executable provides enterprise-level endpoint protection with an auto-populated program list that makes managing lists of sanctioned programs a breeze.
Security Your AV Alone Can’t Provide
Your Anti-Virus program uses blacklisting technology to protect against known threats. Not only does each unique piece of malware need to be caught and identified before a definition file can be issued, but AV cannot protect against zero-day and targeted attacks. Faronics Anti-Executable stops unauthorized and malicious software from installing itself on your machine, providing the ultimate protection while in-session.
Audits Are Not A Legend
Compliance authorities are cracking down on organizations for unlicensed software, which remains an ongoing challenge for the IT Department. To help you enforce your IT policies and ensure license compliance, Faronics Anti-Executable is here to prevent users from downloading unauthorized applications or installing unsanctioned programs. Relax a little and leave the ‘policy policing’ to Faronics.
Kiss Solitaire Goodbye
Today’s employees admit to wasting an average of just over 2 hours per day on non-work related activities, costing companies billions of dollars annually. Help your bottom line by keeping employees more focused and hopefully more productive. Eliminating non-essential programs like solitaire and peer-to-peer file sharing applications could save your company bundles by reducing strain on network bandwidth, security headaches, and fewer employee distractions.
Run Your PC Like a Cheetah
Keep your PC running lighter and faster by preventing unauthorized applications from bogging down your machine. Not only will this help your PC last longer, but it will also reduce network and hardware costs. Faronics Anti-Executable creates a winning formula offering faster performance with fewer support headaches for both employees and IT Departments. Adding an advanced layer of security protection helps everyone win.
The Layered Security Approach
With 60,000 new unique pieces of malware emerging daily, relying on one method of security alone is no longer enough. The Faronics Approach to layered security protects against multiple layers of potential threats on one central console, offering a simple, first-rate security system and peace of mind. Faronics Anti-Executable offers an advanced level of endpoint security that delivers additional peace of mind, while Faronics Anti-Virus works hard to keep the known threats out without compromising system performance. To add in triple layered protection, Faronics Deep Freeze delivers enterprise-wide security against accidental or malicious damage with every reboot.
