How Application Control and System Control Work Together?
When Application Control detects an outbound connection attempt, and
when it is set to prompt the user to decide whether to allow or deny the
connection, you can set Application Control to check from System Control
whether the connection should be allowed. This reduces the amount of
Application Control pop-ups shown to users.
An example:
1. If there is a rule for the application that tries to open an outbound
connection in the Application Rules for Known Applications table,
Application Control allows or denies the connection attempt based on
this rule.
2. If there is no rule for the application in the Application Rules for
Known Applications table, Application Control allows or denies the
connection attempt based on the currently defined Default action for
client applications.
3. If the currently specified default action is Prompt for user decision,
and if the Do not prompt for applications that System Control has
identified setting is enabled, Application Control checks from System
Control whether it should allow the outbound connection. If System
Control now identifies the application, the end user is not prompted
for decision, and the outbound connection is allowed.
4. If System Control did not identify the application, the user is prompted
to decide whether to allow or deny the connection.
