CB Protection, as we have come to know it is like an antivirus, anti-malware, and all threats "Swiss knife" detection tool wrapped in one. CB Protection uses an application whitelist to approve and block good or harmful programs in all workstations and servers connected to a network.

I like the fact that you can create different policies for different users that belong to various departments because, for example, some users may belong to the dev department where they require more access and less restriction as they run different codes from different interfaces and do application testing.

The drawback about CB Protection is that it will constantly block any "unknown" processes or executables and thus also create false positives.

Users at times get overwhelmed by CB Protection pop-ups due to it always blocking executables. CB Protection will even block application processes that belong to common software like Outlook, and even the operating system's critical WSUS service gets no luck from CB Protection's robustness.

The fact that the User Exchange is loaded with the very experts a company would call if they had an incident and needed help. It truly is like getting a free FTE for being a customer! Having endpoints in high enforcement so that only the files that are approved are allowed to run. The ability to single out the most threatening endpoints.

CB Protection is a robust platform capable of repelling a majority of threats seen today. As the dominant application whitelisting platform, it gives granular controls and the ability to customize each environment to your company's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A double-edged sword, the platform is as strong as you make it. The dangers of low enforcement and the amount of information overload you can receive from the platform means there is significant setup time. It may also provide some user discomfort when moving into high enforcement, but it is certainly doable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
