Hi I feel your pain with CBP. We've have had stuff on a basic install that has been blocked TFS. It has blocked Powershell scripts and DLL from Microsoft because it was unsigned.

Good afternoon, We currently use Carbon Black's CB Protection (application whitelisting) on some of our end user computers (we have a licensing for 300 endpoints... however we only ever got it working on around 70 Windows machines...) It has not been working out well and we are looking to move in a different direction. I recently learned, from a call with Gartner, that "typically" application whitelisting is utilized on servers and systems that are fairly locked down (think of machines used by the insurance and medical industry, kiosks...) Knowing this, we are looking to see what you all are doing to lock down your systems to assist in ransomware and zero-day incidents: Have any of you had luck in deploying application whitelisting on their end users machines... or is this a lost cause that takes to much money and FTEs to support? Do you have Endpoint protection deployed on your campus? If so, who with? Kind Regards, Chad Tracy Director of Information Security Colby College Waterville, ME 04901 207 . 859 . 4199 chad.tracy () colby edu<mailto:chad.tracy () colby edu>
