Application Control Updates Release Notice
This is a notification for the latest Application Control 6.11 data update, which has been rolled out on the 3rd of September 2024. If you want to control an application that is not in the list we supply, you may request SophosLabs to add the application through the file submission page by selecting Application Control. If the requested application is already in the list and you want to submit a latest version of an existing application, it will take 48 to 72 hours to add it in the list. If you would like to submit a completely new application to AppC list, it would take 6 to 10 weeks to be added in the list.
Note: These applications will be automatically blocked for customers who have enabled the following optional setting in their Application Control policy for their Sophos Central:
- Sophos Central: New applications added to this category by Sophos
If you don’t want new applications to be automatically blocked the above setting can be disabled.
Sophos will be releasing Application Control in two different parts. The latest released applications would be visible in Central, 24 to 48 hours prior to the identity release. Therefore, customers are requested to wait 24 to 48 hours to Allow/Block most recently released applications in Central.
