Whitelisting
What Is Whitelisting?
Whitelisting is a security measure used to protect computer systems and networks from malicious software and other unauthorized access. It is a process of explicitly allowing certain programs, websites, and other digital resources to be accessed or used on a computer or network. Whitelisting is the opposite of blacklisting, which is the process of blocking certain programs, websites, and other digital resources from being accessed or used. Whitelisting is often used in conjunction with other security measures, such as antivirus software, firewalls, and user authentication, to provide an additional layer of protection.
Description
Whitelisting is a security measure that allows only approved programs, websites, and other digital resources to be accessed or used on a computer or network.
Usage and Examples
Whitelisting is commonly used in corporate networks to ensure that only approved programs and websites can be accessed by employees. For example, a company may whitelist certain websites that are related to their business, such as customer service portals, and block all other websites. Whitelisting can also be used to protect personal computers from malicious software, such as viruses and spyware. For example, a user may whitelist certain programs that they trust and block all other programs from being installed on their computer.
