Application Control List

Andre

Good morning,

I'm reviewing the application control policy in preparation for the Sophos upgrade to the latest version. Instead of having to manually write everything down from the Application Types window, I was wondering if maybe you would already have everything in a list? I've tried searching the website but didn't find anything, then I found out there were also forums :)

Would any list with the Application Controlled applications exist?

Thank you

Andre

    Awesome! Do you mind if we add these links to the Application Control sticky at the top of the forum? Once the formal Sophos list are live I'll remove the lists.

    Sure.

    The proposal is to enable each category to be set to either "block" or "monitor" obviously the action will only apply to selected applications.

    I can see why this is useful, because right now you can only set a complete AppControl policy to "Detect, but don't block".

    I suggest to add the ability to remove/delete the detected app/game/proxy. We have several dozen locations and way to many computers to always send somebody to get rid of the detected application. Remoting in is neither an option as we are understaffed (oh wait it's not understaffed, rather I'm completely alone here). This would be a huge timesaver as then they don't have to go through the whole process of power it on, login, run the Uninstaller, hope that the uninstaller is not broken, wait for the uninstallation, logoff. Just deleting the key AppControl identifier files (usually .EXE and .DLLs from what I've seen in the past) will cripple the app and the kids can't run it anymore. Abuse stopped. 1:0 security.
