Application Security Increases Productivity
Ongoing Challenges: What kind of application users do you have?
Check out the list below. Can you spot your two or three biggest application security offenders?
- Robin is an application user who is hesitant of configuring her settings because she's afraid of being reprimanded. Therefore, she remains unproductive until IT can manually configure her application access.
- Jane is afraid of configuring her applications because of the fear of possibly "breaking something." Jane knows what happens if you click the wrong thing. Oops, down for a day. Jane, like Robin, will just wait for help.
- Jake thinks he knows how to configure his desktop applications. But just four clicks later, he's made enough configuration issues to bring his application down until IT must be called in to fix it.
- Mike cannot stop playing and tweaking with his desktop application settings. Tweaking his applications is like a hobby while awaiting the next phone call. His desktop and application settings are unlike anyone else's in the whole company. When IT needs to manage his desktop, no one really knows what might break because of all the configuration changes.
- Carly is the "know-it-all" who, unfortunately, doesn't know it all. Carly is, quite possibly, the worst offender of all, because she not only misconfigures her machine, but she also tinkers with other machines in the department and misconfigures those as well.
Do any of these application users sound familiar?
Only application access security experts should be configuring end user applications. And that's you; not them.
With PolicyPak Desktop Management software, these configuration issues go away. PolicyPak enables you to pre-configure the application's access and security settings for your users. And even if they do change the settings, those settings are placed back -- and back again -- no matter how often a user tries to change them. PolicyPak's Active Directory tools are there to perform Group Policy lockdown based upon the desired configuration state of your applications.
