Allowlisting, being policy-driven, permits only approved application files to execute and blocks anything that is not explicitly permitted. Unlike antivirus or other threat detection programs looking for "bad" applications, allowlisting puts you in control over what software, scripts, executables, and libraries can run on your workstations.

While EDRs are valuable tools, they’re inherently reactive—detecting and responding after a threat has already breached your environment. True protection starts with prevention.

Despite deploying dozens of tools over the years, security teams are struggling to stop malware. And it’s not surprising: global ransomware attacks against critical industries surged by 34% in 2025. Adversaries are no longer leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) just for productivity gains, they are deploying novel AI-enabled malware in active operations. Legacy defenses fall behind, and 85% of organizations report traditional detection is becoming obsolete against AI-enhanced attacks. With AI these trends are likely to continue, and there is no easy way to catch millions of malware files generated daily.
