Black/White Listing Applications

The uncontrolled use of applications is a growing problem for businesses. One of the primary reasons is because many employees also use company computers for personal purposes, which is often tolerated by employers. Without central management, however, it is difficult to draw clear boundaries. Productivity suffers and efficiency plummets when employees play games or watch movies during working hours. Costs go up and the corporate brand name is affected when due to virus-infected software or spyware data is lost or stolen. During audits organizations are given a nasty shock when they come to know that unlicensed software is illegally installed. Due to this support staff spends time to resolve - typically due to problems caused by unauthorized software.
