Bit9, BigFix Add Application Whitelisting
The BigFix - Bit9 combination offers IT managers a best-in-class approach to reducing and remediating endpoint security vulnerabilities and the ability to seamlessly integrate Bit9 whitelisting with BigFix's growing portfolio of endpoint security and system management capabilities.
Full Life-Cycle Security and System Management
The Bit9 Parity™ application whitelisting capability and the Bit9 Global Software Registry™, join BigFix's portfolio of policy-based modules and extensions. The BigFix product line-up also covers:
- Anti-malware defense
- Application virtualization
- Asset inventory and management
- Data leak prevention
- Network access control
- Patch management
- Security configuration management
- Software distribution

BigFix customers can view and manage all of these functions-and now Bit9 application whitelisting-through the BigFix single agent, single infrastructure, single console, service delivery platform. Through functional and process consolidation enabled by the BigFix platform, customers lower IT costs of ownership while significantly enhancing quality of service, reducing security risks, and improving staff productivity.
Bit9 and BigFix features:
- Provides full control over unknown and invisible software, untraceable and uncontrolled grayware, illegal applications and un-patched and vulnerable applications.
- Enables both the push of enterprise "approved" applications through the BigFix platform and centralized control with Bit9 Parity over applications pulled intentionally or inadvertently by end-users.
- Delivers real-time visibility, full control, and proactive policy enforcement across all the known and unknown software on all the endpoints in the network.
- Using the BigFix central management console, IT managers can now use the intelligence of the Bit9 Global Software Registry to create whitelists of approved applications, and receive alert notifications on any unapproved application introduced, intercepted and/or blocked by Bit9.
