titleAdditional Information

Only Whitelisted software can be installed on a user's desktop. The Blacklisted software can harm computer and can also be a threat to other computer's on the same network. This report helps you to accurately classify and identify software that are not yet categorized as whitelisted or blacklisted, Whitelisted software safe to be installed, and which are the Blacklisted software that cannot be installed.

Therefore, this report helps the Admin/Analyst to view the list of software that are categorized as: None, White Listed, and Black Listed. The key columns for an Admin/Analyst in this Report are: Restriction Type (that indicates: None, White Listed, and Black Listed), and No of Installation which has a count of installation with a link. For an Admin/Analyst, it is important to check Blacklisted software that was already installed on a Desktop or laptop. That becomes the actionable task to check and uninstall Blacklisted software on a laptop or desktop. Because, if a blacklisted software is not uninstalled, it can not only harm the desktop or laptop but also other systems on the network.
