Unauthorized or unwanted programs can cause a multitude of classroom security and productivity challenges. Distractive and malicious software can be accidentally or intentionally brought into classrooms through portable drives, email accounts, and web browsing. Allowing these programs to run on workstations presents a serious challenge to IT and instructor efforts to keep classroom computers running and student productivity high.

Block Distractive Software From Running

Applications that are unwanted in a classroom—such as games, instant messaging clients, and peer-to-peer file sharing applications—distract students from paying attention to the instructor or completing class assignments. Anti-Executable’s white list protection eliminates these threats to student learning by ensuring computer workstations are only able to run applications that enhance student productivity. Instructors are able to teach in computer labs with the confidence that the computers will be used only for their intended purpose.

Stop Malicious Software From Installing

IT administrators are always in a constant battle trying to keep school computers free of malicious software—such as keyloggers, spyware, malware, viruses, and trojans. These unwanted pieces of software can seriously cripple computing sessions, create damaging privacy leaks, and hamper student productivity. Anti-Executable protects students from these threats by blocking all unauthorized programs from installing or running while still allowing students to access the programs they need to complete their assignments. IT personnel experience a reduction in helpdesk requests as all malicious software is automatically blocked from running at the workstation level.

Keep Systems Free Of Unlicensed Software

Ensuring that the software on academic computer systems is fully licensed is a responsibility that IT personnel take seriously. If schools are found to be in non-compliance, the consequences can be quite expensive. Anti-Executable makes it easy to ensure that computers remain in full-compliance at all times by preventing unlicensed software from running or installing. Systems remain in full-compliance at all times without the need for constant IT attention.

Corporate/Government

Unauthorized or unwanted programs can cause a multitude of security and uptime challenges to corporate computing environments. Distractive and malicious software can be accidentally or intentionally installed on computers from portable drives, email accounts, and web browsing. Allowing these programs to run on workstations presents a serious challenge to IT’s efforts to keep computers running, corporate data secure, and employee productivity high.

Block Distractive Software From Running

Unauthorized applications—such as games and instant messaging clients—serve as distractions to employee productivity and cause corporate systems to be used for unintended purposes. For IT personnel, unauthorized software such as peer-to-peer file sharing applications are a drain on network bandwidth, a serious violation of acceptable use policies, and a threat to corporate data security. Having to repair computers that are experiencing system slowdowns or corruption caused by unauthorized software is a waste of IT resources and time. Anti-Executable’s white list protection eliminates all these problems and threats by ensuring computer workstations are only able to run applications that have been authorized for use. Anti-Executable helps ensure network bandwidth remains efficient, acceptable use policy compliance is enforced, and IT personnel are freed from tedious helpdesk and repair requests.

Stop Malicious Software From Installing

IT administrators are always in a constant battle trying to keep corporate computers and networks free of malicious software—such as keyloggers, spyware, malware, viruses, and trojans. These unwanted pieces of software can seriously cripple computing sessions, create damaging privacy leaks, and hamper employee productivity. As a result of government legislation such as HIPPA and Sarbanes-Oxley, companies must make serious efforts to increase the security and integrity of their data. Anti-Executable protects users from these threats by blocking all unauthorized programs from installing or running while still providing users with the ability to access the programs that have been deemed by IT to be safe. Anti-Executable helps computers remain free of malicious software; corporate data remain secure; and enforces acceptable use and regulatory compliance.
