Winternals Protection Manager
How will you protect your enterprise from zero-day attacks? Protection
Manager blocks unknown applications from running until you specifically
authorize them. No need to wait for an update--you're already protected. Plus,
Protection Manager enables a secure successful least privilege network without
compromising legacy applications by decoupling privilege levels of applications
from users, and promotes culturally acceptable PC lockdown with real-time
approval or denial of user application requests. Protection Manager forms a
crucial layer of your defense-in-depth security strategy, helping enforce
corporate technology policies, ensuring compliance with regulatory acts like
HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley, and dramatically reducing the labor burden on IT.
