Abstract
A system and method for updating a system that controls applications requested for execution on a workstation. A workstation management module is configured to detect requested execution of an application. A workstation application server receives data associated with the application from the workstation. The application server module can determine one or more categories to associate with the application by referencing an application inventory database or requesting the category from an application database factory. The application database factory can receive applications from multiple application server modules. The application database factory determines whether the application was previously categorized and provides the category to the application server module; which forwards a hash/policy table to the workstation management module. Upon receipt of the hash/policy table, the workstation management module applies the policy to control access to the requested application on the workstation.
