During execution of the Application Control task, Kaspersky Endpoint Security controls the launching of applications on user devices. This helps reduce the risk of device infection by restricting access to applications. Application launching is regulated by Application Control rules.
To use the component, a license that includes the corresponding function is required.
This feature is not supported in the KESL container.
Application Control can operate in two modes:
For each Application Control mode, separate rules can be created and an action can be specified: apply rules or notify about an attempt to start an application that matches the rules. Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs this action when it detects an attempt to start an application.
The Application Control settings are described in the following table.
