Ivanti Application Control is known for enabling IT control over endpoints, reducing security risk, and providing a great user experience. Up to now, that experience has always been for users of Windows environments. But with the introduction of Ivanti App Control for Linux, we are opening up a whole new world of possibilities. Ivanti Application Control for Linux brings the major benefits of App Control for Windows to Linux environments.
