Airlock building blocks for whitelisting services

Application Allowlisting and Execution Control Services

Why Application Allowlisting and Execution Control Services?

Businesses need to take a more proactive approach to countering malicious application-based attacks than is often possible with signature-based detection or restriction of executables.

Allowlisting and Execution Control can help stop exploits that target living off-the-land binaries (LOLBins), legitimate system components that cybercriminals can co-opt for attacks that can be hard to detect because they are not inherently malicious.

Implementation of an Airlock Digital solution can help organisations to adhere to mandatory controls – as required by the Information Security Manual (ISM), NIST, CMMC, and the ACSC Essential 8 as developed by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD).

Cyconsol has partnered with Airlock Digital, a leading Application Control solution that has improved the way organisations manage application control. The Airlock approach combines application allowlisting (application whitelisting) with execution control to better protect businesses, and enable administrators to manage risk and trust in fast-changing environments.

Choose Airlock Digital

Cyconsol’s consulting experience in both public and private enterprises has encountered a common trend of failing application control projects.

We have performed rigorous testing on the Airlock solution in an array of organisations and is has been shown to provide an effective and efficient approach to achieving high levels of maturity for application control and security needs, while balancing operational requirements.

Airlock’s allowlisting solution gives businesses the organisational and environmental context to decide with confidence whether to switch off a tool that is not malicious in itself, but could be used to compromise an environment.
