As an application control solution that uses a default deny approach to block the unknown threats that can by-pass your anti-virus solution, Anti-Executable accelerates productivity with standardized configuration and central management. It also assists with compliance readiness, saving organizations time and money by helping to reduce the incidence of support tickets.
