Application Control (AC) protects managed desktops and servers by allowing or denying network application usage based on policies established by the network administrator. Enterprise applications, databases, web mail, social networking applications, IM/P2P, and file transfer protocols can all be identified accurately by sophisticated detection signatures. Application Control signature updates are provided via the global FortiGuard distribution network. Learn More
