Application Control delivers exceptional security for applications and identity management across organizations of all sizes. Integrated within Check Point's Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW), this feature enables companies to create specific policies tailored to individual users or groups, aiding in the identification, prevention, or limitation of application and widget usage. Applications are classified based on various factors, including type, security risk, resource usage, and their potential influence on productivity. This capability allows for detailed monitoring of social networks and applications, ensuring that organizations can identify, approve, block, or limit their usage as needed. Leveraging a comprehensive global application library, Application Control simplifies policy development while also providing robust protection against threats and malware. Its integration with Next Generation Firewalls leads to a more cohesive security framework, which can help lower costs for organizations. Consequently, only authorized users and devices gain access to protected resources, thus enhancing the organization’s overall security posture. Furthermore, this comprehensive solution not only safeguards assets but also equips businesses with the tools necessary to effectively manage their application landscapes. This dual benefit of protection and management positions organizations to thrive in a secure digital environment.
