Technical Implications
In the intricate world of technology, understanding technical implications is like deciphering a complex puzzle. There are several key technical aspects that hold the gears of modern operations together, each playing a unique role in maintaining digital harmony, described below:
- Allow lists/whitelists: An allow list grants access only to those on a list; this could be used on a firewall or by AppLocker that decides which applications and files can run. Whitelists ensure that only approved applications can be installed or run. Applications not on the allow list or whitelist will be denied. Once you set up a whitelist, malware will not be able to run. After all, you would never add it to the whitelist.
