What is Carbon Black App Control?
Carbon Black App Control is a security solution that employs a positive security model to protect endpoints by denying all software and file usage by default. It allows only trusted applications to run, which aligns with the Zero Trust model. This approach is essential as traditional antivirus solutions are often insufficient against advanced threats. By implementing Carbon Black App Control, organizations can better secure their critical systems and ensure compliance with regulatory mandates.
How can organizations quickly implement Carbon Black App Control?
Organizations can start by automating their approval mechanisms using the built-in tools in Carbon Black App Control. This allows for a trust-based approach to content approval without maintaining outdated lists. Additionally, they should implement the 90% strategy, which often approves 90% of relevant files immediately, and then focus on the remaining files iteratively. Lastly, organizations should consider adding extra protection layers, such as File Integrity Monitoring and Device Control, to enhance their security further.
What are the benefits of using Carbon Black App Control?
Organizations that implement Carbon Black App Control can experience significant productivity optimization, with a reported net present value of $1.10 million and a 207% return on investment. The solution helps combat advanced threats by securing critical systems, preventing unwanted changes, and ensuring continuous compliance with regulations. This proactive approach to security not only protects against cyber threats but also enhances overall operational efficiency.
