- Attributes of the app's binaries that come from the signed metadata for the files, such as Original Filename and version, or the hash of the file
- The reputation of the app as determined by Microsoft's [Intelligent Security Graph](design/use-appcontrol-with-intelligent-security-graph.md)
- The identity of the process that initiated the installation of the app and its binaries ([managed installer](design/configure-authorized-apps-deployed-with-a-managed-installer.md))

### App Control System Requirements
App Control policies can be created and applied on any client edition of Windows 10 or Windows 11, or on Windows Server 2016 and higher. App Control policies can be deployed via a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, for example, Intune; a management interface such as Configuration Manager; or a script host such as PowerShell. Group Policy can also be used to deploy App Control policies, but is limited to single-policy format policies that work on Windows Server 2016 and 2019.

- Attributes of the app's binaries that come from the signed metadata for the files, such as Original Filename and version, or the hash of the file.
- The path from which the app or file is launched.
- The path where the app or file exists on disk.
AppLocker is also used by some features of App Control, including [managed installer](design/configure-authorized-apps-deployed-with-a-managed-installer.md) and the [Intelligent Security Graph](design/use-appcontrol-with-intelligent-security-graph.md).
