Executable Lockdown secures PCs by restricting untrusted applications from launching. Trusted apps are locked down, while new executables can only run if they're on the administrative approved list.
Executable Lockdown is a software that aims to protect your PC by locking down your existing "trusted" applications, as well as all new executables introduced via any media source. This includes physical or removable drives, network shares, USB drives, Internet ftp, and more. Any new executable file will not be able to launch unless it is already listed within your administrative "Allowed" executables list.
Exe Lockdown works by acting as an executable white-list filter, which means that regardless of file extension (e.g. exe, com, dll, drv, sys, dpl), its small kernel mode driver will filter all executable files. This makes it easier for users to define the "Allowed" executables within their list.
One of the key features of Exe Lockdown is its ability to enforce corporate and educational AUP's. It does this by ensuring that employee or student authorized user policies for desktops and laptops are adhered to. The software comes equipped with a unique and comprehensive white list of authorized applications, which keeps students and employees focused and prevents the installation of unauthorized applications as defined in the corporate acceptable user policy.
Another important feature of Exe Lockdown is its ability to prevent identity theft. Public access settings are where identity thieves tend to pre-install keyloggers or dangerous spyware applications in an attempt to capture personal and banking information from users. However, Exe Lockdown will stop them in their tracks. The software ensures that no newly introduced application or executable can be launched, thereby protecting users' privacy.
Exe Lockdown also provides proactive virus, keylogger, and spyware protection. Unlike traditional antivirus and spyware removal tools that require continual updates, Exe Lockdown provides proactive security and stops threats before they even have a chance to launch.
Finally, Exe Lockdown supports the use of command-line for ease of large deployments, making it easier to deploy the software across multiple systems.
