About this listen

In this Bare Metal Cyber episode, we spotlight application whitelisting—a slick way to lock down endpoints by only letting approved software run, slamming the door on malware, ransomware, and rogue apps. Unlike blacklisting’s whack-a-mole game with known threats, we flip it: only vetted stuff like your antivirus or office tools gets the green light, shrinking your attack surface big time. It’s a must-know for endpoint security, GDPR compliance, and keeping zero-day exploits or insider slip-ups from wreaking havoc.


We walk you through making it work: inventory your apps, enforce it with tools like AppLocker, and tweak it so users don’t revolt when their niche software gets blocked. From pilot rollouts to logging sneaky run attempts, we’ve got the how-to, plus ways to dodge pitfalls like update overload. With AI and cloud trends pushing dynamic whitelisting forward, you’ll leave ready to turn your systems into fortresses where only the good stuff gets through.
