Certified Cybersecurity Technician Application Security Exam 212-82 Block Executable Feature The Block Executable feature enables security professionals to block applications/executables. It is possible to block executables in all computers or block them for specific users/computers. There are two methods to block an executable/application. = A path rule can be used to block all versions of specific applications based on the name of the executable and its file extension. = A hash value can be used to block executables even if they are renamed.

Creating a policy involves selecting the target system, selecting and adding the executable to the list, and applying the block rule as a path or hash. It is possible to create two different policies for a single executable, where one uses a path rule and the other uses a hash rule. The system must be restarted to let the changes take effect. = Block executables for all users/computers By default, the Desktop Central features a custom group that comprises all the managed systems. Choose the All Managed Computers group and select the executable to be blocked if the blocking is to be applied to all the managed systems. Create a policy by specifying the target and the executable to be blocked. Module 09 Page 1204 Certified Cybersecurity Technician Copyright © by EC-Council All Rights Reserved.
