What should be done while performing software updates in Application Control?

When performing software updates in Application Control, enabling Maintenance Mode to allow new software is essential. This feature temporarily bypasses the enforcement of the rules applied to application behavior, which is crucial during updates.

During a software update, it is expected that new components or patches will be introduced, which the existing rule set may not recognize as safe. By enabling Maintenance Mode, the system can accept these changes without triggering an alert or blocking the process. This smooth process ensures that the updates are applied without unnecessary interruptions while maintaining a secure environment.

Enabling Maintenance Mode guarantees that any fine-tuning or modifications necessary for the software to function correctly can take place without hindrance from the controls that typically monitor and limit application behavior. This is a standard practice in environments where application integrity needs to be managed while also ensuring that the latest updates and patches are successfully implemented.
