This topic for the IT professional introduces the design and planning steps required to deploy application control policies by using AppLocker.
|
|
|
|
This guide provides important designing and planning information for deploying application control policies by using AppLocker. It's intended for security architects, security administrators, and system administrators. Through a sequential and iterative process, you can create an AppLocker policy deployment plan for your organization that will address your specific application control requirements by department, organizational unit, or business group.
|
|
|
|
This guide doesn't cover the deployment of application control policies by using Software Restriction Policies (SRP). However, SRP is discussed as a deployment option in conjunction with AppLocker policies. For info about these options, see [Determine your application control objectives](determine-your-application-control-objectives.md).
|
|
|
|
To understand if AppLocker is the correct application control solution for your organization, see [Understand AppLocker policy design decisions](understand-applocker-policy-design-decisions.md).

| [Understand AppLocker policy design decisions](understand-applocker-policy-design-decisions.md) | This topic for the IT professional lists the design questions, possible answers, and ramifications of the decisions when you plan a deployment of application control policies by using AppLocker within a Windows operating system environment. |
|
|
| [Determine your application control objectives](determine-your-application-control-objectives.md) | This topic helps you with the decisions you need to make to determine what applications to control and how to control them by comparing Software Restriction Policies (SRP) and AppLocker. |
|
|
| [Create a list of apps deployed to each business group](create-list-of-applications-deployed-to-each-business-group.md) | This topic describes the process of gathering app usage requirements from each business group in order to implement application control policies by using AppLocker. |
|
|
| [Select the types of rules to create](select-types-of-rules-to-create.md) | This topic lists resources you can use when selecting your application control policy rules by using AppLocker. |
|
|
| [Determine the Group Policy structure and rule enforcement](determine-group-policy-structure-and-rule-enforcement.md) | This overview topic describes the process to follow when you're planning to deploy AppLocker rules. |
|
|
| [Plan for AppLocker policy management](plan-for-applocker-policy-management.md) | This topic describes the decisions you need to make to establish the processes for managing and maintaining AppLocker policies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After careful design and detailed planning, the next step is to deploy AppLocker policies. [AppLocker Deployment Guide](applocker-policies-deployment-guide.md) covers the creation and testing of policies, deploying the enforcement setting, and managing and maintaining the policies.
