Service definition

What ZT Antivirus WhiteCloud does.

Zero-trust application control uses a default-deny trust model to decide which applications, libraries, and scripts may execute, adding a stricter control layer for unknown or unauthorized software.

Who it is for
  • Organizations that need stronger control over which software may run
  • Teams protecting stable or high-consequence Windows and Linux environments
  • Businesses adding allowlisting and execution evidence to layered endpoint protection
Problems it addresses
  • Unknown, unauthorized, or untrusted executables and scripts
  • Malware that does not yet match a known signature
  • Inconsistent application-approval policy across endpoints
  • Limited evidence showing which software was allowed or blocked

Product details

Evaluate the capabilities that matter in your environment.

01

WhiteCloud uses default-deny application control: software needs an approved trust decision before it can run.

02

Applications, libraries, and scripts are verified against centrally managed trust policies before execution.

03

File identification combines five hashes and file length to resist attempts to impersonate trusted software.

Managed from day one

One continuous operating motion.

Deployment is the beginning of the service, not the end of the project.

  1. 01
    Assess the environment

    Review the sites, users, systems, traffic flows, obligations, current controls, and operating constraints that shape the service.

  2. 02
    Design the coverage

    Define in-scope assets, policies, integrations, retention, escalation paths, responsibilities, and success measures before deployment.

  3. 03
    Deploy and tune

    Connect or install the service, validate traffic and telemetry, test policy behavior, resolve exceptions, and document the operational handoff.

  4. 04
    Monitor and respond

    Operate, update, tune, review, and escalate the subscribed controls according to the agreed monitoring and support scope.

  5. 05
    Report and improve

    Review activity, evidence, exceptions, service trends, and recommended next priorities with ownership made clear.

Choose the right layer

How this service differs from adjacent coverage.

These services work together, but they solve different operational problems.

ZT Antivirus WhiteCloud

Compared with NBX Managed Detection & Response

Zero-trust application control restricts what can execute. NBX detects, investigates, and helps respond to suspicious behavior using broader endpoint and cross-environment context.

ZT Antivirus WhiteCloud

Compared with Unified Threat Management

UTM+ inspects and controls network traffic at the gateway. WhiteCloud applies trust policy to software execution on covered endpoints.

Buyer’s guide

Commercial scope and compliance context.

Evaluate the complete operating commitment, not only a license or feature list.

Pricing model

A defined managed scope

Scope generally reflects covered endpoints and operating systems, policy and trust-list complexity, deployment mode, administration, logging, and support. The proposal should distinguish included licensing and managed operations from optional remediation or integration work.
