Utilizing Airlock Digital Application Control does help to prevent malware within our systems to some degree. We have something called defense-in-depth. The good thing is that because Airlock Digital Application Control works on the principle of least privilege and it works on the principle of zero trust, any new hash or software is by default blocked. This definitely helps. Since we have defense-in-depth, in case something or a threat does enter into a network, we can control it. If Airlock Digital Application Control is not able to detect it, we have different measures in place to control the malware and protect our organization. Airlock Digital Application Control brings many main benefits to the table that help improve the way the organization functions. One thing I have noticed is that because Airlock Digital Application Control blocks everything, we must keep all the different teams together and make them understand usability. When things are blocked, if they upgrade an application, it gets blocked by Airlock Digital Application Control. We have to tell them this is very important because anything unknown will be blocked. There is an option called OTP. Using OTP, you can block, enable, and allow Airlock Digital Application Control to work. This has been a pain point for us because if a user has the ability to enable OTP and bypasses it, that negates the use of Airlock Digital Application Control. Recently, as part of the improvement measure, we have disabled the feature of OTP for users, so they cannot enable OTP at all. If they want to test an application, definitely Airlock Digital Application Control is going to block it. We have integrated Airlock Digital Application Control with our ticketing tool, ServiceNow. When a user wants to enable OTP, they must submit a request that will by default go to the manager for approval. The request comes to us, and via automation, once the request is approved, the OTP is enabled from the console, allowing that particular machine to test and run the application without issue. This is something we have worked upon. In terms of integration and automation with Airlock Digital Application Control, what we are doing here is in the case of automation. We rely on different infra teams, like the UNIX team and the Windows team for the upgrade of the agents. What has helped is that from the console, we can perform the entire upgrade of the endpoints. We do not have to rely on the UNIX team or the Windows team because that adds to the delay based on their availability. With this automation feature from the console, after having the change approved, I have the complete control to automate and select the list of servers or machines where I want to upgrade the agents, and this is how it goes about. Automation is really helping us with this. Based on my experience with Airlock Digital Application Control, I would share a piece of advice with organizations considering it. The first thing I would say for any organization wanting to implement application control whitelisting is to understand the business requirements first and whether this product will meet their needs. Secondly, they must follow a proper governance mode and thorough change management process because you cannot just update or roll out on the fly. If you are going to deploy this particular product in your environment, have the plans in place, take all teams into confidence, and then definitely things will work fine. I would give Airlock Digital Application Control a rating of eight out of ten based on my overall experience.

The graphical user interface provided by Airlock Digital Application Control is very user-friendly, and configuration management is easy, so this is what I like about it the most. Some of our clients are using the Cisco ISE product and some of them are using the PAM solution, so there are different options they are using according to their own choice, but I would prefer Airlock Digital Application Control to be a good product and a useful one. I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.
