Trusted Ownership: How Ivanti Application Control scales beyond allowlisting

Application control is one of those security topics where many people carry old assumptions. Traditional allowlisting feels safe but quickly becomes a maintenance burden. Blocklisting feels reactive and incomplete. And while tools like Microsoft AppLocker led many to believe that strict allowlisting is the gold standard, modern attacks have proven otherwise. Attackers increasingly rely on legitimate, signed tools — used in the wrong context — to bypass list-based controls entirely.

Best Website Monitoring Tools for Compliance and Security in 2026

Compliance audits used to be annual fire drills. Teams would scramble for weeks gathering screenshots, pulling logs, and hoping nothing slipped through the cracks.

It is custom-built software designed around the way their business actually operates.

Secure access at the speed of incident response

Picture this: it's 2am, your pager goes off, and you're staring at a production database that's on fire. You know exactly what's wrong. You know exactly how to fix it. But you can't touch anything because you're waiting on someone to approve your access request. Meanwhile, your customers are down, your SLAs are bleeding out, and you're refreshing Slack hoping someone in security is awake to click "approve." This is the incident response tax that too many teams pay.
