Detection is a wager that you will recognize the bad thing quickly enough. Allowlisting is a different wager entirely: only software you approved may execute, so the binary nobody recognizes never gets a chance to make its case. On the right machines it is the single highest value control we sell.
The first stretch is a learning phase. The agent watches what your team runs and builds the permitted set from your real toolchain rather than from a generic list somebody wrote at a vendor. Nothing is blocked while that happens. After it, anything new needs a decision.
Those decisions land with our desk, and in practice they return inside a few minutes. It remains a hop that was not there previously, and saying so plainly beats letting you discover it. Teams forever installing new tooling notice. Teams whose signing hardware runs a narrow and stable set of software barely do, and those are precisely the machines where this control repays its price many times over.
Start with the machines that would hurt most: whatever holds your signing keys, the build host, the workstation with the complete CAD library, and the finance machine that moves money. Most teams settle on tight policy there and something gentler across general workstations.
Ringfencing is the underrated half. Past the question of whether something may run, it pins down the child processes a permitted tool may start, the files it may open, and the addresses it may talk to. That is how a legitimate utility stops doubling as a convenient way to shift somebody else's data.
Prices below are pulled straight out of billing. Anything you add sits in your basket while you carry on reading.
Application allowlisting with automatic tracking of vendor updates and an approval desk staffed around the clock, so default deny does not become a queue your engineers wait in.
| Model | Deny by default. Approved software is the only software that runs |
|---|---|
| Baseline | Built by watching your estate through the opening phase |
| Updates | Vendor application updates tracked, approvals kept current |
| Ringfencing | Per application limits on child processes, files, and network |
| Approvals | Worked by Fortify 24x7 engineers around the clock |
| Best fit | Signing hosts, build machines, finance and design workstations |
| Rate basis | Endpoint, monthly |
Allowlisting decides what may execute. It has no opinion at all about what a person chooses to approve, and that boundary is worth being clear about before you buy.
