Lockdown Laptops, Desktops & Servers
Ask any IT or security professional and you'll find widespread support for the idea of locking down employees' Windows laptops, desktops and servers with flexible application control and device control solutions. By removing admin privileges, a large number of problems can be completely avoided, ranging from corrupted systems to non-compliance to malicious software. Unfortunately, removing admin rights introduces significant complexity to IT operations.
Bit9 complements these efforts to enable the application control and device control for lockdown and business-friendly controls. Working in conjunction with Active Directory and Group Policy Objects (GPOs), Bit9 allows IT professionals to address critical requirements of Windows lockdown such as:
- Automatically keeping policy up-to-date with approved changes to the Windows software configuration, so software deployments and automatic updates don't interrupt users
- Letting users install approved, legitimate software without IT involvement
- Providing security and monitoring capabilities for users who still retain admin rights (for example, engineers, remote offices, or executives)
Bit9 Parity makes a lockdown policy for laptops, desktops and servers through application control and device control not only realistic, but efficient. This is accomplished by helping the IT department address many of the challenges that have plagued attempts to lock down this environment in the past. Bit9 Parity will let you achieve the security and operational benefits of lockdown, while preserving the liberty to which users have grown deeply accustomed.
