Granular Control of Applications
Organizations of all sizes rely on various applications for daily business operations, but how do you ensure only sanctioned applications are being used on your network? With WatchGuard Application Control, you have the power to limit application usage, and keep unproductive, inappropriate, and dangerous applications off your network.
Minimize Risk and Maximize Productivity
It’s never been easier to decide who, what, when, where, why and how applications are used on your network. WatchGuard Application Control tightens security across your extended network and adds productivity safeguards that go straight to your corporate bottom line. It enables IT administrators to easily monitor and control access to web and business applications, enforcing policies, increasing employee productivity, and protecting their networks from potential threats as a result of risky application usage. Administrators also have the ability to block sub-functions within applications, including file transfers, media and chat functions, and peer-to-peer connections.
Enforce Granular Policies
Enforce policies on over 1,800 applications. Quickly and easily select to allow, block, or restrict access to applications based on a user's department, job function, and time of day using a centralized dashboard. WatchGuard Application Control gives administrators the granularity needed to meet their organization’s needs by enforcing specific policies per user or group.
