SRS and blacklisted applications

Hi,

Is there any way for SRS to automatically locate and mark applications as blacklisted? Or is this information not provided with the SRS?

If no, I guess application blacklisting is a manual task and that you have to define your own criterias? If so, is there any best practice document available how to work with application blacklisting and what applications to actually blacklist?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Hi, Does anyone know is there (anywhere) a list of most critical "blacklisted apps" which should always manually include to the reporting - let's say TOP 10? I usually include manually Tor Browser which is becoming quite popular even in corporate environments, also Zenmap and Ccleaner 5. I have read Mark's article. Thanks! Juha

Hi Dennis, Blacklisting is a manual task but it relies on patterns rather than single application names. Because of this, it is practical enough to blacklist a whole application family. It is also possible to set a blacklisting pattern based on the application type. The types are set through SRS by Snow and include the international software type categories augmented by a set of additional categories created by Snow. Here is an excellent article from the community by that will help you:
