Next Training Webinar: Application Whitelisting: What is It and When Do You Need It?

Application Whitelisting is an emerging technology that promises to rescue you from the never ending cycle of anti-malware signature updates and address the ever present risks of unauthorized/unlicensed software. 

The idea behind application whitelisting is very similar to configuring a firewall to block all traffic except authorized while classic signature based anti-virus is like a firewall configured to allow all except known-to-be-bad traffic. 

In this webinar I will explain how Application Whitelisting works and answer these questions:

  • What are the technical and human challenges with whitelisting?
  • Is Application Whitelisting ready for prime-time? 
  • How far does Windows' built-in whitelisting technology called Software Restrictions take you?
  • How is the .Net framework relevant to whitelisting?
  • Why does application whitelisting also address unauthorized/unlicensed software in addition to malware?

Then you will hear from an application whitelisting company (Bit9) I've come across that has built an interesting solution that addresses the significant challenges inherent to making whitelisting work in the real word.  For instance what do you do when there are exceptions - especially emergency exceptions where your VP of Sales is at a client and needs to install a one-off program in order to seal the deal?

This webinar will be more than your standard infomercial webcast.  I've got real research to share and Bit9's presentation will be more of an interactive interview/demo between me and Bit9.  I think you'll like it.
