Application Control

Take control of what your users install

We help you control the applications that could cause security or legal problems, like P2P or instant messaging. And you'll get a handle on the unwanted applications that clog your network. With Sophos, you can monitor and control what your employees are installing without interfering with their work.

How does it work?

  • We’ve built application control into our antivirus engine, so you don’t have to deploy or manage a separate product.
  • We provide you with detection for a wide range of applications that our experts keep up to date with new versions and new applications.
  • You simply set policies for the whole company or specific groups to block or allow particular applications.
  • Use application control to switch off VoIP but allow remote users to use it. Or standardize on a single Internet browser.

Our application control is available in Endpoint Security and Control and Endpoint Security and Data Protection.  Compare to find the best fit for your security needs.
