Real-Time Application and Web Access Control

 
  A lack of IT control on application usage and web site access can result in the introduction of viruses and lost productivity. In worse cases, it can result in an unhealthy environment and leave the organization legally liable.



SysLock Overview
SysLock is designed to restrict application use and lock down a given environment to only applications that have been authorized by the system administrator. By locking users down and blocking applications (both applications that you know about and application that you don't know about) from running, administrators can eliminate problematic behaviors (like viruses) that result in large numbers of administrator hours spent taking corrective action.

SysLock Modes
SysLock can run in two different modes. The first mode is called "These applications may not run". This mode is utilized by specifying executables that are prohibited.

The second mode is called "Only these applications may run". This mode is very restrictive and only allows users to work with executables that have been authorized by the system administrator. Unlike group policy which requires you to know the name of the executable you wish to lock down, with SysLock you do not have to know the name of the executable you wish to lock down. This is important because most administrators usually do not know the name of the "virus of the day".

Even if a user renames an executable, SysLock will recognize the renamed executable and not allow it to run.

SysLock Security Management
Using SysLock, an administrator may specify the applications to be blocked on the system via an inclusive list (i.e., only specified apps can run) or an exclusive list (i.e., only specified apps are blocked). Additionally, SysLock can be configured to notify the user of the blocked application, to perform other notification events via standard SysTrack notification mechanisms, or to take defined actions such as the execution of specified corrective scripts.

 

 

SysTrack WebLock®


WebLock Overview
WebLock works much like SysLock except that it controls website access rather than application usage.

WebLock is designed to restrict website access and lock down a given environment to only the web sites that have been authorized by the system administrator. By locking users down and blocking web sites (both sites that you know about and sites that you don't know about) from being accessed, administrators can eliminate problematic behaviors (like viruses) that result in large numbers of administrator hours spent taking corrective action.

WebLock Modes
WebLock can run in two different modes. The first mode is called "These web sites may not be accessed". This mode is utilized by specifying URLs that are prohibited.

The second mode is called "Only these web sites may be accessed". This mode is very restrictive and only allows users to access web sites that have been authorized by the system administrator. With WebLock you do not have to know the name of all of the web sites you wish to prevent access to. This is important because most administrators cannot explicitly name all of the sites they wish to prevent access to.

WebLock Security Management
Using WebLock, an administrator may specify the websites to be blocked on the system via an inclusive list (i.e., only specified sites can be visited) or an exclusive list (i.e., only specified sites are blocked). Additionally, WebLock can be configured to redirect the user of the blocked site, to perform other notification events via standard SysTrack notification mechanisms, or to take defined actions such as the execution of specified corrective scripts.
