    ManageEngine Endpoint Central
    ManageEngine Endpoint Central enforces comprehensive application control across every managed endpoint ensuring only trusted, approved applications can execute while blocking unauthorized, untrusted, and potentially harmful software before it runs. A default-deny approach with intelligent allowlisting prevents malicious applications, unauthorized tools, and unapproved software from executing across the endpoint fleet significantly reducing the risk of ransomware, malware, and insider threats. Administrators can create and manage allowlists and blocklists centrally, with granular policy controls targeting specific device groups, user roles, and organizational units. Application discovery provides complete visibility into all software running across the network before enforcement, ensuring legitimate business applications are accounted for and policies are built on real usage data rather than assumptions that could block productivity or leave gaps in security coverage.
