Checklist Summary:

This McAfee Application Control Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is intended to provide guidance for McAfee Application Control on DoD workstation endpoints. McAfee Application Control is a portion of the McAfee Application/Change Control product. This STIG does not include guidance for servers or for McAfee Change Control. This STIG is only applicable in a Host Based Security System (HBSS) managed environment. McAfee Application Control is a McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) managed software and is capable of blocking unauthorized applications and code on servers, corporate desktops, and fixed-function devices using centrally managed application whitelist(s). McAfee Application Control’s dynamic trust model and security features block advanced persistent threats (APTs) without requiring signature updates or list management. McAfee Application Control configuration for a centrally managed client is accomplished via ePO policies deployed to the client. While the McAfee Application Control can be configured by the Command Line Interface (CLI), the CLI is required to be disabled on a centrally managed McAfee Application Control installation. The McAfee Application Control STIG provides security policy and configuration requirements. The HBSS STIG Overview provides an overview of all McAfee HBSS products and services.
