What does Application Control not block?

Application Control is a feature of Trend Micro Deep Security designed to prevent unauthorized applications from executing on a system. It operates by allowing only those applications that have been explicitly approved, while blocking others that fall outside predefined criteria.

The correct answer is that Application Control does not block files from approved applications. This means that any executable files that have been explicitly approved for execution within the Application Control framework are permitted to run without restriction. This is fundamental to the operation of Application Control, as its primary purpose is to ensure that only trusted, authorized applications are executed on the system, safeguarding it from potentially harmful or unwanted software.

Files executed from remote folders, files from the system directory, and all executable files might be subject to blocking based on the policies implemented, particularly if they are not part of the approved application list. However, approved applications themselves are exempt from being blocked, highlighting the functionality of Application Control in maintaining secure and controlled execution environments on managed systems.
