Faronics Anti-Executable

Faronics Anti-Executable is an endpoint application whitelisting and execution control software solution engineered to safeguard corporate workstations and public-access computing environments against unauthorized software installations, malware, and ransomware. Operating on a default-deny security principle, Anti-Executable blocks all executable files, scripts, dynamic link libraries (DLLs), and installers from running unless they are explicitly authorized on the approved whitelist. During initial setup, the software scans the target computer to build a comprehensive whitelist of all legitimate business applications, system files, and administrative utilities. Once protection is locked, Anti-Executable prevents employees, students, or malicious adversaries from launching unapproved software, downloading malicious email attachments, or running script-based malware payloads, regardless of user administrative privileges. The solution is managed centrally via the Faronics Core Console, enabling IT administrators to define, deploy, and update application policies across thousands of endpoints simultaneously. Faronics Anti-Executable integrates seamlessly with Faronics Deep Freeze, providing an impenetrable defense layer that keeps computer environments pristine, compliant, and operational while dramatically reducing IT helpdesk maintenance overhead.
