What is Application Orangelisting?

Application orangelisting allows potentially trusted applications to run securely in your environment.

Orangelisting is a dynamic method of managing applications that might not be included on a whitelist or blacklist.

Arellia's Application Control Solution allows you to manage applications flexibly in a large, distributed client environment by putting:

  • Known trusted applications in a whitelist
  • Potentially trusted applications in an orangelist (also known as a graylist)
  • Everything else in a blacklist

Instead of putting an unknown application into an automatic blacklist, you can apply a flexible policy that includes one or more of the following actions:

By limiting an application’s impact to the operating system and other software, end users can use a piece of software and allow IT to review the software for black or white listing at a later date. At that later date a piece of software could be permanently allowed, denied for risk or legal reasons, or moved to a permanent orangelist.
