APPLICATION EXECUTION CONTROL

Control What Runs on Your Endpoints

Gain full visibility and enforce application-level security with dynamic policies, automated inventory, and real-time threat prevention.

Organizations lack visibility into which applications are running across their endpoints, creating significant security risks and operational blind spots.

S3M Application Control provides full application visibility and enforces execution policies through a native agent-based architecture.

The Challenge

Enterprise environments often lack visibility and control over applications running on endpoints.

Unauthorized or unknown applications are one of the most common entry points for ransomware and advanced threats. A single unapproved application can compromise the entire network.

Additionally, static security policies fail to adapt to dynamic environments where users operate across multiple locations with varying security requirements.

Solution Approach

S3M Application Control is a comprehensive solution built on the EndGuard Agent that automatically discovers all executable applications across endpoints and creates a centralized software inventory.

Security teams can enforce application policies using whitelist or blacklist modes, controlling exactly which applications are allowed to run.

With location-based policy enforcement and NAC integration, unauthorized applications can be automatically detected and isolated in real time.

Key Value Propositions

Core capabilities that provide full visibility and control over endpoint application execution.

Automated Threat Isolation with NAC

Integrates with NAC to quarantine devices when policy violations are detected.
Prevents threats from spreading across the network.

Dynamic Location-Based Security

Applies location-aware policies that change dynamically depending on network conditions.
Ensures secure application usage across remote and public environments.

Execution Control with Whitelist and Blacklist

Enforces whitelist and blacklist policies centrally across all devices.
Prevents unauthorized applications and reduces threat exposure.

Full Application Visibility

Automatically discovers and inventories all executable applications via EndGuard Agent.
Eliminates shadow IT and provides full control over software environments.

Use Cases

Endpoint & IoT Posture Validation Across Distributed Urban Systems

Role Description

EndGuard evaluates device posture across traffic sensors, municipal workstations, and IoT endpoints embedded throughout city infrastructure. Trust is not static; it is continuously reassessed based on behavioral indicators and compliance posture.

In smart city environments where thousands of connected devices operate simultaneously, compromised endpoints can quickly become lateral access vectors. Posture-aware enforcement limits exposure while maintaining operational continuity.

Identity-Based Control for Enterprise Networks

Role Description

ConnGuard functions as the identity enforcement core within smart city environments. Every user, device, and system request is validated before network access is granted. Rather than relying on static VLAN structures or IP-based assumptions, policy decisions follow verified identity attributes.

In distributed municipal networks — where public WiFi users, contractors, and internal systems coexist — continuous authentication ensures that trust is dynamically reassessed. This prevents lateral movement across departments and districts.

Architecture Overview

application control architecture with endguard agent and nac integration for endpoint security

S3M Application Control operates through the EndGuard Agent deployed on endpoints.

The agent continuously monitors and reports application activity to the central management console.

When unauthorized applications are detected, policies are enforced instantly, and NAC integration enables automatic network isolation of affected endpoints.

Take full control of your endpoint applications and eliminate security blind spots.
