Install an antivirus software that works with application control to detect, quarantine and remove the malware that can compromise computers and networks. This two-in-one defence eliminates the risks posed by sophisticated malware, which exploits known or even unknown vulnerabilities to access corporate data. This combination prevents unwanted applications from being downloaded and accessing, removing or modifying data. It also blocks malware and removes them, stopping them from spreading in the network. What to do: @ Install an application control solution that is integrated with antivirus software that uses both whitelisting and blacklisting to prevent unauthorised applications including malware from running. The whitelist takes reference from Essential 1’s list of organisation’s authorised assets. @ Once installed, the application control highlights the blocked applications. Review this blocked list and remove all unnecessary applications. ™ Update antivirus definitions as soon as they are available. Antivirus software identifies new malware via its ‘fingerprints’. @ Monitor and track all antivirus alerts to ensure that all malware is quarantined and removed. Have a seamless process for employees to submit, review and approve all applications before installing them in any device or network. m a4) m Zz = PaPa i)
