Faronics Anti-Executable ensures total endpoint productivity by only allowing approved applications to run on a computer. Any other programs —whether they are unwanted, unlicensed, or simply unnecessary—are blocked from ever executing.

Anti-Executable’s ability to enforce total compliance provides absolute peace of mind. Organizations benefit from productive user sessions each and every time, while IT personnel are guaranteed that computers are compliant with acceptable use policies, regulatory requirements, and software deployment schedules.

Discover how Anti-Executable applies to your environment:

Unauthorized or unwanted programs can cause a multitude of classroom security and productivity challenges. Distractive and malicious software can be accidentally or intentionally brought into classrooms through portable drives, email accounts, and web browsing. Allowing these programs to run on workstations presents a serious challenge to IT and instructor efforts to keep classroom computers running and student productivity high.

Block Distractive Software From Running

Applications that are unwanted in a classroom—such as games, instant messaging clients, and peer-to-peer file sharing applications—distract students from paying attention to the instructor or completing class assignments. Anti-Executable’s white list protection eliminates these threats to student learning by ensuring computer workstations are only able to run applications that enhance student productivity. Instructors are able to teach in computer labs with the confidence that the computers will be used only for their intended purpose.

Stop Malicious Software From Installing

IT administrators are always in a constant battle trying to keep school computers free of malicious software—such as keyloggers, spyware, malware, viruses, and trojans. These unwanted pieces of software can seriously cripple computing sessions, create damaging privacy leaks, and hamper student productivity. Anti-Executable protects students from these threats by blocking all unauthorized programs from installing or running while still allowing students to access the programs they need to complete their assignments. IT personnel experience a reduction in helpdesk requests as all malicious software is automatically blocked from running at the workstation level.

Keep Systems Free Of Unlicensed Software

Ensuring that the software on academic computer systems is fully licensed is a responsibility that IT personnel take seriously. If schools are found to be in non-compliance, the consequences can be quite expensive. Anti-Executable makes it easy to ensure that computers remain in full-compliance at all times by preventing unlicensed software from running or installing. Systems remain in full-compliance at all times without the need for constant IT attention.
