Abstract
Described systems and methods enable enforcing application control remotely and automatically, on a relatively large number of client systems (e.g., a corporate network, a virtual desktop infrastructure system, etc.). An application control engine executes outside a virtual machine exposed on a client system, the application control engine configured to enforce application control within the virtual machine according to a set of control policies. When a policy indicates that a specific process is not allowable on the respective client system, the app control engine may prevent execution of the respective process. To assist in data gathering and/or other activities associated with application control, some embodiments temporarily drop a control agent into the controlled virtual machine.
