Heimdal Application Control Description
Heimdal Application Control offers a new approach to integrative app management and user rights curation. App Control is modular and easy to set-up. It allows the system administrator to create all encompassing rule-based frameworks and streamline auto-dismissal and auto-approval flows. It also enforces individual rights per Active Directory group.
The uniqueness of the tool comes from its ability, in perfect coordination with a (PAM), Privileged Access Management solution. This allows for the user to have granular oversight over software inventories and hardware assets.

Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager
Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) enables enterprises to remove admin rights without impacting productivity on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints. Securden EPM helps elevate applications for standard users and grant admin rights on a Just-in-Time (JIT) basis, eliminating standing privileges while ensuring users can run required applications without friction. Organizations can enforce application control using allowlisting and blocklisting to prevent unauthorized or risky software execution while enabling secure operations.
The solution supports on-demand application elevation and policy-based granular application elevation control, allowing security teams to define exactly which apps can run with elevated rights and under what conditions. Privilege management continues even on offline endpoints, ensuring protection for remote and traveling users. Built-in JIT local admin rights reduce risk by granting temporary elevation only when required.
Additional capabilities include application usage tracking for better policy decisions, continuous local administrator group monitoring to prevent privilege creep, and secure remote access for IT helpdesk teams to troubleshoot systems without exposing credentials. Securden EPM also helps organizations meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and NERC-CIP. With a highly scalable architecture and a wide array of integrations, the platform delivers enterprise-grade endpoint privilege management while maintaining operational efficiency and user productivity.
