Learn application control fundamentals and practical implementation strategies for security teams in this cybersecurity webinar. Discover how application control functions as a zero trust endpoint solution while exploring the challenges of implementing strict allow-listing policies, including issues with legacy applications, unsigned binaries, and development environments. Examine common failure modes and gain guidance on starting with audit mode to build comprehensive application inventories before transitioning to enforcement. Master key concepts including managing signer certificates, hash-based rules, PowerShell constrained language mode, and defending against adversary techniques such as living-off-the-land binaries and click-fix attacks. Understand how to begin with tier-zero assets and gradually expand coverage while maintaining effective partnerships with IT and development teams. Explore why application control should supplement rather than replace existing EDR and antivirus solutions, helping security teams focus their detection efforts more strategically for enhanced cybersecurity posture.
