Which approach provides stronger security by default when controlling application execution on organizational systems?
Hybrid listing
Blacklisting
Graylisting
Whitelisting
Whitelisting provides stronger security by default because it follows a deny-by-default approach where only explicitly approved applications are permitted to run. This creates a more restrictive security posture than blacklisting, which allows all applications to run except those specifically prohibited. With whitelisting, unknown or unauthorized applications cannot execute at all, significantly reducing the attack surface. Blacklisting requires constant updates to catch new malicious applications and is reactive rather than proactive. Application control based on whitelisting is generally considered more secure but requires more administrative overhead to implement and maintain.
