The Endpoint Security Suite gives enterprises more security and management control over applications running in the Windows 10 operating system. With AppSense Application Manager, IT can now allow the Windows 10 start menu and select Windows 10 system components to run, but can control and block unapproved Universal and Win32 applications. Application Manager can also govern access to the Windows Store and can block the Win 10 Edge browser to restrict the use of unapproved applications and uncontrolled browser activity.
“Windows 10 migration, the growing threat landscape and the Ransomware plague are prompting enterprise IT to take a closer look at endpoint security. The AppSense Endpoint Security Suite combines technologies that intelligently create and enforce policies to mitigate attacks,” said Jon Rolls, Vice President, Product Management, AppSense.
Enterprises are also in great need of more data on user endpoint experience in order to develop the most effective application and privilege control policies. The advanced AppSense Insight solution enables discovery of user activity and behavior using a lightweight agent that requires no reboots or drivers, and can be deployed and removed with zero user disruption. Data is collected in a self-contained virtual appliance that scales to support data gathering from up to 15,000 endpoints, and requires very little ongoing maintenance. With this detail, IT can adjust security policies and gain greater control while being able to drive automated exceptions for a positive effect on user experience.
Additional features in the new Endpoint Security Suite include:
- Custom Rules provide the most flexible targeting on the market, using any combination of run-time desktop environment parameters such as OS version, group membership, device network address range, device type, time of day or even file content.
- Dashboard Home Page provides easy access to key metrics pulled from the Insight database.
- Applications Blocked Report lists applications blocked by Application Manager policies, with extensive trending, filtering and sorting.
- Application Privilege Usage and Local Administrator Reports pinpoint where excessive security privileges are potentially being used, how often and by whom.
· Trend Graphs can now plot changes in a metric over time (day, month, etc).
· Most Recent Data compares results such as the most recent logon time against long-term averages, minimums and maximums.
