Applications Monitoring
Complete Visibility into Installed Software
Shadow IT and unauthorized applications represent a significant security risk. Remote access tools like TeamViewer can create undetected backdoors into your network. Missing security tools like antivirus leave endpoints vulnerable. Lockfy Enterprise provides complete visibility into installed applications across your entire organization, enabling you to enforce compliance lists and identify risks instantly.
