Creating an Application Control Policy
Application Control policies determine whether or not certain actions are run before an end user can run an application. Example: A policy may deny application execution 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
1. In the Altiris Console, click the Tasks tab.
2. In the left pane, select Tasks > Security Management > Application Control >
Windows > Application Control Tasks > Manage Applications.
3. In the right pane, click ?.
4. In the pop-up menu, select the policy you want from:
* Automate Document Encryption
* Blank Application Control Policy
* Deny Application Execution
* Elevate Process Rights
* Prevent Windows Hooking
* Quarantine Application
* Restrict Application Read and Write File Access
* Restrict Process Rights
* Run an Application in Read-Only Mode
* Run an Application in an SVS Layer
Note
For descriptions of these Application Control policies, see Overview (page 4).
