WDAC Is Powerful - But Difficult to Manage

Microsoft Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) is one of the most effective technologies available to protect endpoints from unauthorized and malicious software. While we firmly believe in WDAC's superiority compared to other products, we also recognize its significant complexities in implementation, upkeep, and support. We've heard from our customers time and time again that they would love to use it, but only if it was easier to work with.

Deploying and maintaining WDAC policies at enterprise scale presents significant operational challenges:

Complex XML policy structure
Manual policy creation and editing
Difficult deployment workflows
Managing base and supplemental policies is difficult
Limited visibility into application allowlisting decisions
High operational overhead for security teams
Managing Intune deployment size limits is very hard

Feeling overwhelmed by the extensive documentation on Microsoft Learn website while assessing the deployment of WDAC in your environment?

Concerned that implementing WDAC will result in a slew of PowerShell scripts that may become obscure and forgotten within months?

If the engineer responsible for WDAC implementation were to leave the company tomorrow, how readily available are his skills in the job market? How easily replaceable would his role be?

You need to remove an application or Trusted Publisher from your WDAC policy but not 100% sure which one needs removing?

Do you require a straightforward method to manage WDAC with minimal effort? But not by spending months implementing it and more importantly supporting it.

Do you use Application Control / Allowlisting solutions from other vendors, but you would like to reduce costs or switch to Microsoft ecosystem only?

Our Solution

WDACManager was born from years of experience deploying Microsoft Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) in enterprise and government environments. Instead of relying on fragile scripts, manual XML editing, and scattered operational processes, WDACManager provides a structured platform for managing the entire WDAC policy lifecycle. Security teams can analyse application telemetry, generate policies, manage base and supplemental relationships, and deploy updates through a centralised interface. The platform integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Intune to simplify application control operations while preserving the power and security model of native WDAC.

Centralized Policy Management

Create, edit, and manage WDAC base and supplemental policies from a single interface.

Automated Policy Generation

Generate WDAC policies using application execution data from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

Automated Deployment via Intune

Deploy WDAC policies directly to devices using Microsoft Intune integration.

Application Allowlisting Management

Add applications using hash, publisher, or path-based rules with full visibility and control.

Policy Versioning and Lifecycle Management

Track changes, maintain version history, and safely update policies over time.

Enterprise-Ready Architecture

Supports enterprise security environments with scalable and secure design.

How it works

WDACManager integrates with the Microsoft security ecosystem to manage the entire WDAC policy lifecycle:

Endpoints send application execution telemetry to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or Windows Event logs
Analyse application activity in WDACManager and identify required policy changes
Security administrators review and approve applications
WDACManager generates and updates WDAC policies automatically
Policies are deployed to endpoints via Microsoft Intune
Devices enforce policies using native WDAC enforcement

This provides full visibility and control over application execution across your organization.
