Audit & Stop Unauthorized Changes

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 challenges due to configurations deviating from 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 integrity, 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 computers?

In the past, there has been no simple, reliable, or effective way to enforce 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, laptops and servers.
