Application behavior rules

Use application behavior control to accomplish the following results:

• Prevent an application (or process, script) from being started from within an allowed application, thus causing a potential danger to your system.
• Specify which type of access you want to grant a particular application (e.g. read or write access to files or the registry).

For this purpose, the following options are available. You can...

• determine in which order (priority) application behavior rules are processed,
• specify the action to be taken when a particular application is accessed (for example, the application is blocked or not),
• determine whether an application permission can be passed on to child processes,
• specify different file and folder filters or
• specify script types that are allowed for running scripts.

Also, starting with version 2020.1, you can create a behavior rule based on a stored recording of application behavior on the DriveLock Agent.

All application behavior rules can be arranged in the DriveLock Management Console in a user-defined folder structure.
