This article provides a description of AppLocker and can help you decide if your organization can benefit from deploying AppLocker application control policies. AppLocker helps you control which apps and files users can run. These include executable files, scripts, Windows Installer files, dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), packaged apps, and packaged app installers. AppLocker is also used by some features of Windows Defender Application Control.

AppLocker is a defense-in-depth security feature and not considered a defensible Windows security feature. Windows Defender Application Control should be used when the goal is to provide robust protection against a threat and there are expected to be no by-design limitations that would prevent the security feature from achieving this goal.

By default, AppLocker policy only applies to code launched in a user's context. On Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016 or later, you can apply AppLocker policy to non-user processes, including those running as SYSTEM. For more information, see AppLocker rule collection extensions.

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 runs unauthorized software, including malware. AppLocker helps mitigate these types of security issues by restricting the files that users or groups are allowed to run. Because AppLocker can control DLLs and scripts, it's also useful to control who can install and run ActiveX controls.

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.

AppLocker is included with all editions of Windows except Windows 10 version 1809 or earlier. 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).

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.

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 risk losing the policies that you create and maintain if the virtualized instance is removed or fails.

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. 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. You should thoroughly test the policies in a lab environment before you deploy them in production. It's also important that organizations dedicate sufficient resources to manage and troubleshoot the implementation of such policies.

For more 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:

Hello everyone. I want to draw developers attention to one of the very essential feature (atleast for me personally). On the recent android OS (experience from Oneplus 7 and beyond) it is possible to lock each app using biometrics or pin of the user account. This feature is currently absent in graphene OS.

AS Graphene necessarily put user privacy in very high regards, it makes this feature to be more desirable.

I'd suggest avoiding biometrics, since their legal standing is questionable in many jurisdictions on account of not being knowledge based. Knowledge based security is protected in places where you have protection against self-incrimination.

abcZ phone is absolutely not like an underwear. underwears do not have built in share feature, thats lingere. phones are purposfully built with connection in mind, wether remote or local. this isnt just a connection to another device but also another person. perfect example is photos, you dont share them only online but in person. screen pin...exists but its not reliable for this

That takes a bit of time and setup. Not really ideal and still requires knowing ahead of time what apps you want them to see. In any good firewall, you need both the ability for a default allow and default deny. Default deny is more secure, yes... but default allow (specify blocklist) is still a needed option.

There are also many scenarios in which LE or a criminal has snatched your phone while unlocked. No time to Lockdown, switch User Profile, etc. No, you can't always say, "hold on a sec, let me lock this thing down."

There is great piece of mind, knowing that certain sensitve apps" are behind App-level protection.

Graphite It's important to note that even if something like was implemented, or if you're using an implementation of an app, an app being locked behind a PIN or fingerprint doesn't mean its contents are not accessible.

If someone gets access to your phone and keeps it unlocked, they can get the app's data, as opposed to something like Molly's database encryption which actually locks the app until you put your password in.

That is why you can use screen pin, create new profile, use guest profile, turn off fingerprint scanner etc. 

You cannot claim high profile threat and then try to find a way how to weaken the security based on your wish. Well, you can, but would you?

Wouldn't you say, that if this situation is possible that you wouldn't lend your phone to a friend. You would certainly be more cautious with your phone than your friend... One more reason to use profiles and rather not let anyone to snoop in your phone.

It's not 100%, sure. But combined with Storage Space protection, applocking file browsers, app installers, etc... one could really prevent other ways of accessing the data. I've had applocker protection that locked dev mode settings too, so ADB couldn't be enabled.

It's good, if not permanent, protection. Another good tool in the toolbox.

Security and Privacy should be implemented at multiple, somewhat overlapping, layers. Device level, User Profile level, File System level, and App level. Authentication (PIN or bio), has device level, but has a gap at app level. Again, there is a reason so many others have implemented already.

Screen pinning is a good feature that I will likely use if I can. But it also doesn't allow for specifying a PIN or Password if the device has fingerprint unlock. So I either must never use biometrics, or must accept that I can be compelled to bypass app pinning. There should be more granularity so users can choose to lock the device with fingerprint for convenience, but have certain apps locked with a knowledge factor.

Guest profiles don't give anything but the built in browser. Not useful.

User profiles are great if you have time to set it up.

Apps that are well designed will have their own locking mechanism. Sometimes they don't bother. Many times they just rely on biometrics instead of user PIN. Some banking apps don't implement anything. It is better to not rely on 3rd party devs to implement.

Defense in depth must include some security/privacy features that appear to be redundant, but are just overlapping a bit.

App locker is not a replacement for user profiles or device security, but also cannot be replaced by them either.

If GrapheneOS was only for the super paranoid, then maybe they would market as a burner phone not suitable to daily drive as production. If they were just another Android flavor that didn't care about privacy, they would probably wouldn't care and just let app developers implement any features. 

But users are somewhere in the middle. They want to be able to use their phone as a primary device, and not need to plan for every contingency, or be told it was their fault for not logging into to a premade profile before something happened.

There are several scenarios. A complete list would be too long to write out.

Threats can be grouped into scenarios in which you don't have time or would not want to do an explicit action to lock down a device with screen pin or switching profiles.

Another example, enabling screen pinning before handing your phone to a wife or a cop who now thinks you have something to hide. Users shouldn't have to do anything overt. Privacy should be default without any action.

Although I can't imagine giving an access to a cop or a wife (interesting choice of your threats, btw.) to my phone, because I think that snooping on my private phone is none of their business, I get the sentiment. 

Fortunately, the idiotic presumption of guilt instead of the presumption of innocence that is now valid in for instance Australia (at least in relation to access to users data on their electronic devices) hasn't come to the country I live in. Wife or husband is a different topic:-) 152ee80cbc
