This topic for IT professionals introduces the concepts and describes the steps required to deploy AppLocker policies.
This guide provides steps based on your design and planning investigation for deploying application control policies by using AppLocker.

Through a sequential and iterative deployment process, you can create application control policies, test and adjust the policies, and implement a method for maintaining those policies as the needs in your organization change.
