Right fit solution
Our consulting experience in both public and private enterprises has encountered a common trend of failing application control projects.
We have performed rigorous testing on the Airlock Digital solution in an array of organisations and is has been shown to provide an effective and efficient approach to achieving high levels of maturity for application control and security needs, while balancing operational requirements.
Airlock’s allowlisting solution gives businesses the organisational and environmental context to decide with confidence whether to switch off a tool that is not malicious in itself, but could be used to compromise an environment.
Application control solutions delivered by Cyconsol can lower the risk in your systems and applications.

CASE STUDY
The Melbourne Institute Data Lab was designed and built by us, providing a secure, purpose-built data enclave that enables virtual access to micro-level data for curation, analysis, and visualisation.
Airlock Digital is a key component of the design and implementation, and ensures secure access to data with permitted analysis applications.

FAQs
-
To put it simply, allowlisting allows only processes, files and applications approved by a business or organisation to run in its environment, with all other processes, files and applications blocked. This reduces the risk of malicious code executing in that environment.
-
Functionally, an allowlisting solution should:
Block everything other than files defined as ‘trusted’ to stop unknown or untrusted code from executing.
Provide access to real-time data to enable quick policy decisions that minimise business disruption.
Be delivered through the cloud or on-premise.
Scale across all endpoints, including desktops, servers, mobile devices and more, in line with the needs of the business or organisation.
Give administrators a range of options to allowlist applications.
Include exception management workflows that support user access and administrator requirements.
Incorporate a fast closed feedback loop when new applications and files are requested, to accommodate the fact users typically do not proceed with a task if they need to wait more than a few minutes for approval.
Include blocklisting that overrides an allowlist and persists through exemptions as a further control against malicious code.
-
Clients typically implement the Airlock Digital solution, including enablement of enforcement mode, within a few weeks of acquisition.
Factors that influence implementation times include the degree of software standardisation within the environments and the number of times an administrator tunes policy within the solution.
