Configuring AppLocker in Windows Server2012 R2 - Executable Rules – Publisher Condition

Introduction

What is AppLocker?

AppLocker, which was introduced in the Windows 7 operating system and Windows Server 2008 R2, is a security setting feature that controls which applications users are allowed to run.

AppLocker provides administrators a variety of methods for determining quickly and concisely the identity of applications that they may want to restrict, or to which they may want to permit access. 

AppLocker is a powerful but often overlooked tool for increasing security by restricting user access to applications and other executable files, scripts, Windows Installer files and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs).

You apply AppLocker through Group Policy to computer objects within an OU. You can also apply Individual AppLocker rules to individual AD DS users or groups.
