Application Control and Device Control Solutions
Enforce Compliance
More and more computer-savvy employees are making use of easily accessible applications to communicate with friends and colleagues, improve their productivity, entertain themselves, and more. Though this software brings benefits to users and potentially to the business, it also creates a variety of compliance problems as desktop configurations deviate from the standard image. This phenomenon has been described by the phrase "rogue software."
The fact is that the volume and complexity of user-installed software makes it tremendously difficult to ensure compliance with regulations, license agreements, and security policies. Valuable IT professionals spend an inordinate amount of time conducting machine-by-machine audits and manually merging poorly kept purchase records. And in the end, the results are non-actionable. After all, how can you know that your data is protected if you don't even know what software exists on your PCs?
In the past, there has been no simple, reliable, or effective way to enforce Windows desktop application control and device control policies. Now you can. With Bit9 Parity application control and device control solutions, IT professionals can enforce policies by centrally identifying and controlling what is running on users' desktops and laptops.
With Bit9 Parity application control and device control solutions, you can proactively ban an application from running across all desktops or laptops to ensure minimal disruption to your business. If you simply want to monitor who is using an application (and when), you can create a "report-only" ban that will allow the user to run the application while giving you complete visibility into its usage.
With Bit9 Parity, you can ensure that all of your desktops are:
- Running a "qualified" desktop image that is only updated by IT, blocking unauthorized software and running only whitelisted applications and devices
- In compliance with corporate policies and industry regulations such as PCI DSS, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, FDA Regulation CFR Part 11, and others.
- Aligned with process control frameworks such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and ISO 17799
- Not running vulnerable, unlicensed, unauthorized applications — or malware
- Highly available, compliant, and secure
