Application Control Updates Pre-release Notice

NOTE: We have decided to remove a few applications from the below list before the release due to some technical issues. The status is set to remove for these applications for this release. 

The following have been identified as applications that would benefit from some level of control and will be added to the existing list. 

Note: These applications will be automatically blocked for customers who have enabled the following optional setting in their Application Control policy for either Sophos Central or Enterprise Console:

• Sophos Central: New applications added to this category by Sophos
• Enterprise Console: All Added by Sophos in the future

If you don’t want new applications to be automatically blocked the above setting can be disabled.

This is a notification for the latest Application Control 6.05 data update, which is currently planned to be rolled out on the 28th November 2023. Occasionally the list changes slightly before the release date, there will be a follow-up update on the release date to confirm it has been released.
