Why are Organizations Upgrading to Modern Application Control?

Simplified Management and Policy Tuning 


Airlock Digital’s intuitive workflows and centralized management eliminate the complexity often associated with application control.

The most popular legacy solution’s interface and policy tuning are complex, time-intensive, and require a higher level of expertise to manage effectively. 

Lightweight and Scalable Architecture


Airlock Digital is designed for scalability without extensive performance tuning or hardware investment. Its lightweight agent ensures minimal resource consumption.

Legacy solutions struggle with scalability due to significant compute and storage demands for its management server, requiring costly hardware and frequent tuning. 

Continuous Product Innovation


Airlock Digital actively develops its platform to address modern security challenges, integrating customer feedback and emerging technologies.

The largest legacy vendor's solution, largely based on its original foundation, has experienced minimal feature innovation, leaving it less adaptable to today’s evolving threat landscape. 

Modern vs Legacy Application Control

 

Designed by cybersecurity practitioners, the Airlock Digital solution is more feature-complete and user friendly than the most popular legacy solutions, like Carbon Black—with the OS support, scalability, and ease of management that modern organizations require.
