Massive Event Volume
Real client data shows the scale: Adobe Acrobat generates 1.2 million events on 300 devices over 90 days. Cisco AnyConnect creates 725,000 events on 750 devices. Managing this volume requires intelligent tooling.
Deployment Precision
Moving from audit to enforcement requires careful planning. The key is having complete visibility into what will be impacted before making the switch.
Technical Expertise Requirements
WDAC policy management involves PowerShell expertise and deep understanding of Windows internals. Most teams need tools that simplify this complexity.
Deployment Visibility
Understanding policy enforcement status across your environment requires more than Windows Event Logs. You need comprehensive dashboards and reporting.
Enterprise Tooling Gap
Native Windows tools work well for small environments, but enterprise-scale WDAC needs workflow management, intelligent aggregation, and automated processing.
Scalable Decision Making
Application trust decisions need systematic workflow management to scale beyond pilot groups. Manual processes don't work for thousands of applications.
The Enterprise WDAC Challenge
Understanding the scale and complexity that comes with enterprise WDAC deployments
200+
organizations successfully running WDAC with proper tooling
95%
reduction in time spent managing WDAC events with intelligent tooling
1.2M
events from Adobe Acrobat across 300 devices in 90 days
725K
events from Cisco AnyConnect VPN across 750 devices in 90 days
"From millions of daily events to actionable insights: Adobe Acrobat's 1.2M events become 1 record. Cisco AnyConnect's 725K events become 1 record. Java 8's 350K events become 1 record. Every application, clearly prioritized."
AppControl's Approach: Intelligence Over Complexity
We transform WDAC from a deployment nightmare into a manageable security solution
01
Application Intelligence
See "Adobe Acrobat needs attention" instead of 1.2 million individual file events. We transform massive event volumes into clear, actionable application insights.
From 1.2M events to 1 actionable record
04
Smart Deduplication
Citrix Workspace: 710,000 events on 700 devices becomes one clear summary. Visual Studio Professional: 570,000 events on 100 devices reduces to a single actionable insight with usage patterns.
Focus on applications that matter most
02
Pre-Deployment Processing
Our server agent connects to your ConfigMgr/Intune environment and automatically trusts managed applications before WDAC goes live.
Eliminate 90% of initial blocked events

​
05
Workflow Management
Track trust decisions with status management (Trusted/Untrusted/In Progress). Know what needs attention and what's been resolved.
Scalable application trust process
03
Comprehensive Visibility
Know exactly which devices are reporting, their enforcement state, and client agent versions through comprehensive dashboards updated twice daily from endpoint data.
Complete deployment transparency
​
06
Automated Policy Generation
Skip the PowerShell complexity. We generate ready-to-deploy WDAC policies and security catalogs automatically from your existing applications.
