Application Control

The Application Control feature offers administrators the option to monitor installed applications, block access to defined applications, and lower the risk of exposure by prompting the users to uninstall certain applications. The administrator can select from several filtering methods for applications:

Manually define applications that should be blocked

Category-based blocking (for example, games or social)

Permission-based blocking (for example, applications that track location)

Blocking by source (for example, applications installed from sources other than the Google Play store)


important

When your device is enrolled via Microsoft Intune or VMware Workspace ONE, ESET Endpoint Security for Android ignores the Application Control policy settings. For this type of enrollment, the settings are inherited from those which are set in Microsoft Intune or VMware Workspace ONE consoles.
