USX Cyber, a leader in cybersecurity and compliance automation, has introduced a new Application Control module for its flagship GUARDIENT platform. Announced on August 8, 2025, in Vienna, Virginia, this enhancement strengthens endpoint security by allowing organizations to manage application execution with precision and efficiency across their systems.
The Application Control module empowers security teams to allow or deny application launches across all protected endpoints with ease. Designed for end-user simplicity and enterprise-grade remote management, it eliminates the need for scripting or manual intervention. “Our mission has always been to deliver world-class protection in a way that doesn’t slow down business,” said Cole McKinley, CTO of USX Cyber. “With this new module, organizations gain real-time control over the applications running in their environment—all from the same intuitive dashboard they already know and trust.”
Fully integrated into the GUARDIENT platform, the module leverages built-in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) visibility, Active Response automation, and a robust policy enforcement engine. Every action, whether blocking or allowing an application, is logged and correlated with broader security signals, enabling faster and smarter remediation. This integration ensures organizations can maintain compliance and security without managing multiple disjointed tools, addressing a critical need in today’s complex threat landscape.
The Application Control module offers a suite of features tailored for modern cybersecurity challenges. Security teams can implement effortless allow/deny rules, enforce policies in real time across Windows and macOS endpoints, and update policies remotely via the centralized GUARDIENT console. Integrated SIEM logging and alerting, combined with Active Response automation, enable rapid threat containment, making the platform a comprehensive solution for endpoint security and compliance automation.
USX Cyber’s latest innovation reinforces its commitment to delivering a unified platform that simplifies endpoint security, enhances compliance, and accelerates threat response, empowering organizations to stay ahead of cyber threats with minimal operational disruption.
