Application control is a technology that allows apps on a network to be uniquely recognized by their traffic. It enables businesses to create and apply extremely sophisticated security and routing protocols based on the origin of a specific traffic flow. It is a security software that helps to protect the privacy and security of information used and changed by applications by banning or restricting illegal programs that could harm the organization. Application control compares different network traffic types to established models. The traffic must adhere to specified standards in order for the computers to communicate with one another. These specific standards must be known and understood so that the application control can distinguish between different sorts of traffic.
