Effective Whitelisting Security Software
      #441501 - Thu Nov 05 2009 05:31 PM

This page has an article about a new antivirus approach: "Whitelisting security has always taken a backseat to blacklisting approaches. After all, when there is far more good software running on computers and networks than bad software, it's just easier to block the bad than to approve all the good. But that was then, and this is now...

"... a number of whitelisting solutions are proving to be mature, capable, and manageable enough to provide significant protection while still giving trustworthy users room to breathe. Nor are today's whitelisting programs limited to locking down desktops to prevent malware executions - they're also useful for software configuration and licensing compliance and regulatory auditing."

The article goes on to review several such products.
