Ivanti Application Control

Ivanti Application Control is an enterprise endpoint privilege management and application allowlisting solution engineered to prevent unauthorized software execution, eliminate local administrative privileges, and block ransomware and zero-day malware across Windows desktops and server environments. By replacing excessive user administrative rights with dynamic, rule-based privilege elevation, it enforces least-privilege security without impeding user productivity.

Operating through a lightweight endpoint agent governed by centralized group policies or cloud consoles, the platform intercepts application launch requests in real time. Core technical capabilities encompass trusted ownership allowlisting (automatically allowing applications installed by authorized administrators while blocking untrusted executables), granular just-in-time privilege elevation for specific applications or tasks, digital signature verification, dynamic URL redirection, and behavioral restrictions that prevent child process spawning from common office applications.

Enterprises, healthcare systems, and financial corporations deploy Ivanti Application Control to eliminate the primary attack vectors exploited by ransomware and advanced persistent threats. It integrates smoothly with Active Directory, Microsoft Intune, and corporate SIEM solutions. Common operational use cases include removing local administrator rights from corporate workstations, preventing employees from running unauthorized software or browser extensions, stopping unapproved PowerShell and script execution, mitigating zero-day malware infections, and achieving compliance with Australian ACSC Essential Eight and NIST guidelines.
