What is our primary use case?
Check Point Application Control is a one-stop shop for providing the strongest security to an organization's business verticals in the most efficient and effective manner.
It eases the business working as it enables smooth flow of information and helps businesses to create micro-managed accurate, granular policies, and helps in strengthening the organization's security by blocking and restricting the unknown and unsecured phishing widgets and applications across multiple integrations.
It limits the usage and utilization of any unknown malware attempts from any application
How has it helped my organization?
Check Point Application Control improved the productivity of our workforce by reducing the coordination time and efforts involved in strengthening the system's security through a traditional manual way or path.
It improved the performance outcome for all our verticals due to more automation in system security, which helped in the identification and blockage of malware-affected applications and widgets.
It helps in categorizing the basis of the application, its types, security level, the usability of resources, and its implications on productivity as a whole.

The solution is great at blocking and stopping unidentified and malware-affected applications.
The next-gen firewall system is inbuilt and is highly efficient in restricting terminated and unsecure applications.
