Centralized policies have strengthened zero trust controls and improved audit visibility
There are a few areas of Airlock Digital Application Control that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future. The first thing is that the new version release schedule is quite repetitive, deploying a new agent within a couple of months. This makes it difficult for us to keep in touch because we have a controlled environment, and everything must be done via change management. We cannot upgrade the server or stay up to date with the latest version all the time. Airlock Digital Application Control should release updates but also provide ample time for organizations to adapt to the latest version. The second area for improvement I think about is regarding the workflows. The workflows require careful tuning during initial rollout, especially in dynamic environments like what we have. My impression of the granular policy control offered by Airlock Digital Application Control is that it can still be improved. Granular policy control is much better for control and application. For metadata rules to work, all endpoints must be on a particular version or higher. Unfortunately, in our environment, we do not have all machines using the same client version, which becomes a problem. If you go to Airlock Digital Application Control, they have an answer that the best thing you can do is use the granular policy if you have all agents and endpoints on the same version. That is something we need to work upon. Granular policy is much better to control and apply, and this is my experience.
