Desktop Lockdown is not your average antivirus. Instead of blacklisting (what almost all regular antiviruses do), Desktop Lockdown creates a whitelist of trusted programs on your own client and blocks everything that's not on the list (unless you specifically allow it). It detects if a program is about to be launched on the system. The user can then choose to allow or decline the installation or execution. This way the application prevents malicious software from being executed.
Desktop Lockdown is ideal in an environment where clients don't need to install lots of new applications. It allows the operating system to install system updates, but blocks all new executable files.
Whitelisting is the answer for ransomware. More and more companies are getting hit by cryptolockers and other sorts of ransomware. Desktop Lockdown offers you the protection you need in the form of a simple yet very effective tool.
Desktop Lockdown is used and tested on all modern Windows versions, going from XP over Vista, Windows 7 and 8 up to 10.
