By strictly controlling which applications can run, organizations effectively prevent unauthorized or malicious software from executing. Benefits Malware Prevention: Stops unknown or unauthorized software from executing, thus preventing malware infections. Ransomware Protection: Prevents ransomware from executing, protecting company data from theft or irreversible loss due to unpaid ransoms. Spear Phishing Resistance: Enhances security by blocking socially engineered attacks involving the download and execution of malicious software.
