This topic for the IT professional describes what AppLocker is and how its features differ from Software Restriction Policies.

AppLocker advances the app control features and functionality of Software Restriction Policies. AppLocker contains new capabilities and extensions that allow you to create rules to allow or deny apps from running based on unique identities of files and to specify which users or groups can run those apps.

Using AppLocker, you can:

Control the following types of apps: executable files (.exe and .com), scripts (.js, .ps1, .vbs, .cmd, and .bat), Windows Installer files (.mst, .msi and .msp), and DLL files (.dll and .ocx), and packaged apps and packaged app installers (appx).
Define rules based on file attributes derived from the digital signature, including the publisher, product name, file name, and file version. For example, you can create rules based on the publisher attribute that is persistent through updates, or you can create rules for a specific version of a file.
Assign a rule to a security group or an individual user.
Create exceptions to rules. For example, you can create a rule that allows all Windows processes to run except Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
Use audit-only mode to deploy the policy and understand its impact before enforcing it.
Import and export rules. The import and export affects the entire policy. For example, if you export a policy, all of the rules from all of the rule collections are exported, including the enforcement settings for the rule collections. If you import a policy, all criteria in the existing policy are overwritten.
Streamline creating and managing AppLocker rules by using Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

AppLocker helps reduce administrative overhead and helps reduce the organization's cost of managing computing resources by decreasing the number of help desk calls that result from users running unapproved apps

For information about the application control scenarios that AppLocker addresses, see AppLocker policy use scenarios.

What features are different between Software Restriction Policies and AppLocker?

Feature differences

The following table compares AppLocker to Software Restriction Policies.

Feature	Software Restriction Policies	AppLocker
Rule scope	All users	Specific user or group
Rule conditions provided	File hash, path, certificate, registry path, and Internet zone	File hash, path, and publisher
Rule types provided	Defined by the security levels: Disallowed Basic User Unrestricted	Allow and deny
Default rule action	Unrestricted	Implicit deny
Audit-only mode	No	Yes
Wizard to create multiple rules at one time	No	Yes
Policy import or export	No	Yes
Rule collection	No	Yes
Windows PowerShell support	No	Yes
Custom error messages	No	Yes

Application control function differences

The following table compares the application control functions of Software Restriction Policies (SRP) and AppLocker.

Application control function	SRP	AppLocker
Operating system scope	SRP policies can be applied to all Windows operating systems beginning with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.	AppLocker policies apply only to those supported operating system versions and editions listed in Requirements to use AppLocker. But these systems can also use SRP. Note Use different GPOs for SRP and AppLocker rules.
User support	SRP allows users to install applications as an administrator.	AppLocker policies are maintained through Group Policy, and only the administrator of the device can update an AppLocker policy. AppLocker permits customization of error messages to direct users to a Web page for help.
Policy maintenance	SRP policies are updated by using the Local Security Policy snap-in or the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).	AppLocker policies are updated by using the Local Security Policy snap-in or the GPMC. AppLocker supports a small set of PowerShell cmdlets to aid in administration and maintenance.
Policy management infrastructure	To manage SRP policies, SRP uses Group Policy within a domain and the Local Security Policy snap-in for a local computer.	To manage AppLocker policies, AppLocker uses Group Policy within a domain and the Local Security Policy snap-in for a local computer.
Block malicious scripts	Rules for blocking malicious scripts prevents all scripts associated with the Windows Script Host from running, except those that are digitally signed by your organization.	AppLocker rules can control the following file formats: .ps1, .bat, .cmd, .vbs, and .js. In addition, you can set exceptions to allow specific files to run.
Manage software installation	SRP can prevent all Windows Installer packages from installing. It allows .msi files that are digitally signed by your organization to be installed.	The Windows Installer rule collection is a set of rules created for Windows Installer file types (.mst, .msi and .msp) to allow you to control the installation of files on client computers and servers.
Manage all software on the computer	All software is managed in one rule set. By default, the policy for managing all software on a device disallows all software on the user's device, except software that is installed in the Windows folder, Program Files folder, or subfolders.	Unlike SRP, each AppLocker rule collection functions as an allowed list of files. Only the files that are listed within the rule collection will be allowed to run. This configuration makes it easier for administrators to determine what will occur when an AppLocker rule is applied.
Dj setup download. Different policies for different users	Rules are applied uniformly to all users on a particular device.	On a device that is shared by multiple users, an administrator can specify the groups of users who can access the installed software. Using AppLocker, an administrator can specify the user to whom a specific rule should apply.

When to use AppLocker

In many organizations, information is the most valuable asset, and ensuring that only approved users have access to that information is imperative. Access control technologies, such as Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) and access control lists (ACLs), help control what users are allowed to access.

However, when a user runs a process, that process has the same level of access to data that the user has. As a result, sensitive information could easily be deleted or transmitted out of the organization if a user knowingly or unknowingly runs malicious software. AppLocker can help mitigate these types of security breaches by restricting the files that users or groups are allowed to run.Software publishers are beginning to create more apps that can be installed by non-administrative users. This could jeopardize an organization's written security policy and circumvent traditional app control solutions that rely on the inability of users to install apps. By creating an allowed list of approved files and apps, AppLocker helps prevent such per-user apps from running. Because AppLocker can control DLLs, it is also useful to control who can install and run ActiveX controls.

AppLocker is ideal for organizations that currently use Group Policy to manage their PCs.

The following are examples of scenarios in which AppLocker can be used:

Your organization's security policy dictates the use of only licensed software, so you need to prevent users from running unlicensed software and also restrict the use of licensed software to authorized users.
An app is no longer supported by your organization, so you need to prevent it from being used by everyone.
The potential that unwanted software can be introduced in your environment is high, so you need to reduce this threat.
The license to an app has been revoked or it is expired in your organization, so you need to prevent it from being used by everyone.
A new app or a new version of an app is deployed, and you need to prevent users from running the old version.
Specific software tools are not allowed within the organization, or only specific users should have access to those tools.
A single user or small group of users needs to use a specific app that is denied for all others.
Some computers in your organization are shared by people who have different software usage needs, and you need to protect specific apps.
In addition to other measures, you need to control the access to sensitive data through app usage.

AppLocker can help you protect the digital assets within your organization, reduce the threat of malicious software being introduced into your environment, and improve the management of application control and the maintenance of application control policies.

System requirements

AppLocker policies can only be configured on and applied to computers that are running on the supported versions and editions of the Windows operating system. Group Policy is required to distribute Group Policy Objects that contain AppLocker policies. For more info, see Requirements to Use AppLocker.

AppLocker rules can be created on domain controllers.

Installing AppLocker

AppLocker is included with enterprise-level editions of Windows. You can author AppLocker rules for a single computer or for a group of computers. For a single computer, you can author the rules by using the Local Security Policy editor (secpol.msc). For a group of computers, you can author the rules within a Group Policy Object by using the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).

Note: The GPMC is available in client computers running Windows only by installing the Remote Server Administration Tools. On computer running Windows Server, you must install the Group Policy Management feature.

Using AppLocker on Server Core

AppLocker on Server Core installations is not supported.

Virtualization considerations

You can administer AppLocker policies by using a virtualized instance of Windows provided it meets all the system requirements listed previously. You can also run Group Policy in a virtualized instance. However, you do risk losing the policies that you created and maintain if the virtualized instance is removed or fails.

Security considerations

Application control policies specify which apps are allowed to run on the local computer.

The variety of forms that malicious software can take make it difficult for users to know what is safe to run. When activated, malicious software can damage content on a hard disk drive, flood a network with requests to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, send confidential information to the Internet, or compromise the security of a computer.

The countermeasure is to create a sound design for your application control policies on PCs in your organization, and then thoroughly test the policies in a lab environment before you deploy them in a production environment. AppLocker can be part of your app control strategy because you can control what software is allowed to run on your computers.

A flawed application control policy implementation can disable necessary applications or allow malicious or unintended software to run. Therefore, it is important that organizations dedicate sufficient resources to manage and troubleshoot the implementation of such policies.

For additional information about specific security issues, see Security considerations for AppLocker.

When you use AppLocker to create application control policies, you should be aware of the following security considerations:

Who has the rights to set AppLocker policies?
How do you validate that the policies are enforced?
What events should you audit?

For reference in your security planning, the following table identifies the baseline settings for a PC with AppLocker installed:
