BOUNCER Key Features: Application Intelligence and Reporting
BOUNCER's application whitelisting solution is the strongest endpoint security solution available on the market. An added benefit that can lead to a strong return on investment is the application intelligence provided by BOUNCER's reporting capabilities. BOUNCER tracks and reports on your applications, where they are installed, when they are upgraded, and how often they are used. This capability provides tremendous benefits for both assisting in software license audits as well as discovering unused software licenses that can be reused before making additional license purchases.
Accelerate Your Software Audits
BOUNCER provides detailed software prevalence and usage reports that can assist you in preparing for audits from either the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) or from the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The BOUNCER prevalence report identifies and quantifies the following items:
-
How many total endpoints have a given application.
- What percentage of your systems have that application.
- What is the breakout of the application's prevalence by security groups for more granular details.
- Identify Unused Software for Reuse
- It is very common for software to get installed but never used. Unfortunately, when organizations are installing new systems their decision to - purchase new software licenses often fails to take this into account. BOUNCER can help.
The BOUNCER prevalence and usage report tracks application usage by each endpoint. Now you can identify when a given application was last used across your organization. If an application has fallen out of use on a given endpoint, now the application can be removed from that system and the license reused for users that really need it. Organizations can save significant portions of their software license budget by simply identifying areas where the application is no longer needed.
CoreTrace Reputation Service (CRS)
While BOUNCER automatically provides you with valuable information about each application's usage and prevalence, optionally, you can subscribe to the CoreTrace Reputation Service (CRS) to receive additional "application assurance" intelligence. Directly in the BOUNCER Control Center, you will receive valuable information about each application's legitimacy and risk, including information on whether it is a "known good" or "known bad" (malware) application. This information is critical to making good decisions about approving or banning applications.
