Re: Allowing Non admin users to install approved software

["Jon Wallace" <security () b69ca com>]

Hi Gary,

AppSense have a product called Application Manager which prevents the 
execution of unwanted executables.  This allows control using ownership 
checking (zero administration), signatures (SHA-1) and some other things.

It's a solid product which has been round for a long time.

Regards,
Jon
