Check Point Application Control Description
Application Control offers unparalleled application security and identity management for organizations of various sizes. By being incorporated into the Check Point Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW), Application Control allows businesses to develop precise policies tailored to specific users or groups, which helps in detecting, blocking, or restricting the use of applications and widgets. Applications are categorized using various criteria, such as type, security risk, resource consumption, and their potential impact on productivity. This feature provides meticulous oversight of social networks, applications, and their functionalities, enabling the identification, approval, blocking, or limitation of usage. It utilizes an extensive global application library that categorizes apps to streamline policy formulation while safeguarding against threats and malware. With its integration into Next Generation Firewalls, it facilitates the unification of security measures, resulting in reduced costs for organizations. As a result, only authorized users and devices can access your safeguarded resources, ensuring enhanced security for the organization. This robust framework not only protects assets but also empowers businesses to manage their application environments effectively.

Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager
Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) enables enterprises to remove admin rights without impacting productivity on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints. Securden EPM helps elevate applications for standard users and grant admin rights on a Just-in-Time (JIT) basis, eliminating standing privileges while ensuring users can run required applications without friction. Organizations can enforce application control using allowlisting and blocklisting to prevent unauthorized or risky software execution while enabling secure operations.
The solution supports on-demand application elevation and policy-based granular application elevation control, allowing security teams to define exactly which apps can run with elevated rights and under what conditions. Privilege management continues even on offline endpoints, ensuring protection for remote and traveling users. Built-in JIT local admin rights reduce risk by granting temporary elevation only when required.
Additional capabilities include application usage tracking for better policy decisions, continuous local administrator group monitoring to prevent privilege creep, and secure remote access for IT helpdesk teams to troubleshoot systems without exposing credentials. Securden EPM also helps organizations meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and NERC-CIP. With a highly scalable architecture and a wide array of integrations, the platform delivers enterprise-grade endpoint privilege management while maintaining operational efficiency and user productivity.
