:
- Whitelisting, Orangelisting, and Blacklisting - control what applications are and are not allowed to be run on an endpoint, with the ability to orangelist applications that have not been classified.
- Reference System, Software Delivery Package, File Owner or Digital Certificate whitelists can be used to speed up whitelist policy creation
- Elevate privileges for standard users - instead of end users seeing the UAC prompt, they can have installers, updaters and applications elevated automatically.
- Implement the principle of least privilege, that is require each subject in a system is granted the most restrictive set of privileges necessary for them to perform their tasks, to limit damage that can result from accident, error, or unauthorized use. (For details about how to protect your system from malicious behavior, go to Restrict an Application's Process Rights.)
