Introduction

Application-level security attacks, such as file system corruption, registry corruption, spyware, and keylogging, pose a serious threat to mission critical business operations. Altiris Application Control Solution helps you manage this risk by letting you control the software applications in your Altiris environment.

For example, using Application Control Solution, you can create policies to automatically inventory the software packages or systems in your environment. You can also protect your company's data from malicious behavior by automatically encrypting documents, controlling an application's access to specific network locations, and preventing applications from installing Windows API hooks.

Requirements

Arellia Application Control Solution requires Notification Server 7.0 SP3 as a minimum platform. However the recommended platform is Notification Server 7.0 SP4 or higher.

The recommended system requirements vary depending on the size of the environment. The size of the environment also affects how you configure the platform.
