Ransomware can't encrypt what it can't run. Application allowlisting stops threats at execution — before damage occurs — protecting Pine Belt businesses from attacks that slip past every other layer.
Traditional security tries to identify and block bad software. Zero Trust flips the model: everything is blocked by default, and only verified, approved applications are allowed to run. No signature needed. No database to update. If it's not on the approved list, it doesn't execute — period.
This approach stops ransomware, fileless malware, Living off the Land (LotL) attacks, and supply chain compromises that bypass antivirus entirely — because those tools look for known-bad behavior, and attackers know how to avoid them.
West Computers manages Zero Trust for your environment — handling the learning period, policy tuning, and ongoing approval requests so Zero Trust doesn't become an operational burden.
Zero Trust application control stops entire attack categories — not just individual threats.
Ransomware needs to execute to encrypt. If the ransomware binary isn't on the approved list, it can't run — regardless of how it arrived.
Ringfencing prevents approved applications like PowerShell or Office from being weaponized to launch attacks outside their intended scope.
Compromised software updates that sneak malicious code in through trusted applications are caught — because the new behavior isn't approved.
Remote admin tools, scripting engines, and dual-use utilities are ringfenced — they can only do what they're supposed to do, nothing more.
Storage control prevents unauthorized devices from writing to or reading from systems — blocking data theft and infected media.
Elevation Control lets users run specific approved tasks with elevated privilege — without giving them full admin rights they'll misuse.
Zero Trust agents are deployed to all managed workstations and servers via the West Computers RMM — no manual installation required on each device.
Our Zero Trust platform observes all software activity on your systems without blocking anything. This builds a complete baseline of what runs in your environment.
West Computers reviews the learned software catalog, removes unnecessary or risky applications, and builds your approved allowlist before enforcement goes live.
Policies go active. Unapproved software is blocked. Users can request approvals through a self-service portal, which West Computers reviews and approves or denies within the agreed SLA.
Software changes constantly. We manage Zero Trust policy updates for legitimate new software, Windows updates, and application upgrades — keeping enforcement active without blocking legitimate work.
