Application Control
WatchGuard Application Control is a fully integrated security subscription for all WatchGuard XTM appliances, and comes as part of the UTM Security Bundle.
It enables IT administrators to monitor and control access to web and business applications to enforce policy, and protect productivity and network bandwidth.
Intuitive and Effective
Exercise fine-grained control over more than 1,800 applications, organized by category. The Application Control lets you drill down from application category ("P2P") to application name ("Facebook") and down to application function ("Facebook Chat").
- Signatures...and then Some
Sophisticated Behavioral Analysis works overtime, regardless of destination address or L7 protocol, to ensure applications that exhibit certain patterns of behavior don't escape the gaze of Application Control — including encrypted applications that are specifically designed to bypass ordinary security measures.
- Dynamic Updates
New applications and new versions are released constantly. Application Control stays current with regular application signature updates.
- Reporting Out of the Box
Real-time reporting and monitoring are included. That means no additional software to buy in order to have complete visibility into network activity.
Why add this subscription to your XTM solution?
WatchGuard Application Control tightens security across your extended network and adds productivity safeguards that go straight to the corporate bottom line. And because Application Control is integrated with the XTM appliance, you’ll have another powerful layer of defense in a single cost-effective solution - with no additional hardware to buy. Bundle it with the complete suite of XTM security subscriptions for even greater savings and comprehensive protection.
Control and Block More than 1,800 Web 2.0 and Business Applications
Application Control makes it simple to create and enforce acceptable use policies at your company. With Application Control, you can selectively allow, block, or restrict access to applications based on a user's department, job function, and time of day. Once you establish your policy, Application Control allows you to see in real-time what's being accessed on your network and by whom. You can use this information to demonstrate compliance, evaluate employee need, and refine acceptable use policies.
