Parity Application Control and Device Control - Features & Benefits

Parity Features
Application Whitelisting & Desktop Lockdown
Control what applications users can and can not run on their PCs. Bit9's application control and device control centrally managed policies automatically identify trusted software in your enterprise and prevent anything else from running. No more malware, viruses, or unauthorized software. Period.
Device Control & Whitelisting
Limit the use of portable storage devices to an authorized set; for example, encrypted drives only. Parity application control and device control lets you enforce read, write, and execute policies for both data and software on USB keys, and other such removable media.
Detection & Prevention of Malicious Software
Use Parity application control and device control to help identify and ban malicious files that would otherwise go undetected. In the event of a zero-day attack, use Parity's emergency Windows lockdown feature to prevent malicious software from propagating.
Application Searching & Identification
Parity delivers unprecedented visibility into your desktops. Discover all the instances of an application, what users are running it, how often, and on what PCs. Never wonder what is on your PCs again.
Automatic, Trust-based Whitelist Updates
Never miss a beat when new software is released. Define your trusted users, repositories, publishers, and applications, and Parity makes sure the whitelist containing your approved software always stays up-to-date.
ParityCenter: Online Software Identification Service
ParityCenter is the largest database of commercial and malicious software in the world. Leverage this single, comprehensive source to identify unknown software in your environment and determine its trustworthiness before it executes.
Policy Simulation
Before rolling out controls to your users, run a simulation to identify misconfigured policies. This important feedback loop will help you deploy a policy that is at the same time effective and non-disruptive. Most of your users won't even notice the change.
Reporting & Alerts
Monitor how your software environment is changing with simple, customizable reports. You can also configure Parity to alert IT professionals when it detects unexpected behavior surpassing your user-defined thresholds.
Integration
Integrate with Active Directory, software deployment, patch distribution, security management, and other systems to share information and build on your existing capabilities.
Administration & Installation
Manage Parity application control and device control through its simple, centralized, web-based console that installs and self-configures in minutes. Silent end-user installation and operation means your users are never distracted with hard-to-understand messages.
