Application control reduces the attack surface by limiting which applications can execute on endpoints. By blocking unknown, unmanaged, or unnecessary software, it eliminates common entry points attackers exploit such as rogue installers, living-off-the-land binaries, and user-installed tools.

Handle sensitive or regulated data
Want to reduce insider risk and shadow IT
Need to enforce least privilege access
Require predictable security enforcement without productivity loss
