I'm referring to Whitelisting in the context of security. About 10 years ago, the ratio "Good code" versus malware was perhaps 90 good 10 bad. In that scenario, it makes sense to keep the bad code out. But over the last 10 years, with automated malware variant generation, the tables have turned, and there is actually more malware than good code out there. So in -that- scenario it might make sense to only allow "good code" and implement application control. Only that which is allowed, will run.
I'd like your feedback - input - discussion on this ! Warm regards, Stu -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.
