WDAC Is Powerful - But Difficult to Manage

Microsoft Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) provides the most robust application control natively available in Windows, effectively protecting endpoints from unauthorized and malicious software.

However, operational complexity often hinders broad enterprise adoption. The steep learning curve of implementation, manual upkeep of XML rules, and lack of streamlined support workflows create an unsustainable burden for security teams. Organizations need the advanced security of WDAC without the operational friction.

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

How do you mitigate key-person dependency when relying on custom scripts and manual XML manipulation to maintain critical security controls?

Do you have the necessary operational visibility to confidently remove outdated applications or publishers from legacy policies without impacting users?

Can your current processes safely and rapidly identify the required rules to unblock an essential business application?

How much engineering time is currently spent translating basic allowlisting requests into compliant WDAC configurations?

Are you struggling to justify the high licensing costs of third-party application control solutions when robust native capabilities exist in the Microsoft ecosystem?

Can you confidently audit and prove compliance regarding which specific applications and publishers are permitted execution access across your endpoint fleet?

Our Solution

Instead of managing raw hashes, file paths, and fragile scripts, WDACManager introduces the Application Abstraction paradigm. This allows security teams to manage logical applications rather than disconnected rules, fundamentally simplifying 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. Should urgent business blockers arise, users can be unblocked securely without altering baselines leveraging the temporary OneCode execution flow.

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.

Application Abstraction

Group hashes, publisher certificates, and rules into logical units that dynamically update across policies.

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.

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.
