Creating an Application Control Policy
Application Control policies determine whether certain actions run before an end user can run an application. For example, a policy might deny an application the ability to execute or quarantine the application when a user attempts to run the application. The easiest way to create these policies is to use the Application Control Wizard.
To create an Application Control policy:
- In the Symantec Management Console, on the Home menu, click Arellia > Application Control
- In the left pane, select Policies > Application Control > Application Control Tasks > Application Control Policies.

- To include filters in the policy, click Select an Item next to Include:
- In the Select Items dialog, select an application filter from the available items
- To exclude filters in the policy, click Select an Item next to Exclude: and follow the procedure in Step 4 above.
