A computing system for generating allowed lists of applications for machines is provided. The system, for each machine, identifies a set of executed applications that were executed by that machine. The system then clusters the machines based on similarity between the sets of executed applications so that machines with similar sets are in the same cluster. The system then, for each cluster of machines, creates an allowed list of applications for the cluster that includes the applications in the sets of executed applications of the machines of the cluster. An allowed list for a cluster indicates that only applications in the allowed list are allowed to be executed by a machine in the cluster. The system then distributes the allowed list for a cluster to the machines of that cluster so that the machines execute only applications in the allowed list for their cluster.
