AppLocker Guidance
A repository containing scripts and configuration files to help administrators implement Microsoft AppLocker for application whitelisting based on NSA security guidelines.
AppLocker Guidance Description
AppLocker Guidance is a collection of scripts and configuration files designed to help administrators implement Microsoft AppLocker for application whitelisting on Windows systems. The repository provides starter policies for Windows 7 and Windows 10 environments, along with Group Policy Object (GPO) templates specifically for Windows 10 deployments. These resources are based on NSA Information Assurance guidelines and follow the recommendations outlined in the "Application Whitelisting Using Microsoft AppLocker" security guide. The project includes configuration templates and implementation scripts that administrators can use to establish application control policies. The guidance follows NSA's top 10 mitigation strategies, specifically focusing on application whitelisting as a security control mechanism. The repository also references the Windows Secure Host Baseline repository, which contains additional AppLocker-related Group Policy Objects for enterprise deployments.
