11.Does your organization prohibit certain software applications? Does it require certain applications?

The NAC 800 can scan for Windows applications. You’ll need to record the exact way in which the application is listed in the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software” or “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Soft- ware” folder of the Windows registry. (However, you do not have to worry about case.)

12.Does your organization prohibit certain services on endpoints? Does it require certain services?

Some services open vulnerabilities because they allow remote access to the endpoint. Such Windows services include:

Telnet

Routing and remote access

RPC

Such Mac services include:

Remote login

Personal file sharing

Xgrid

Before you prohibit these services, however, check with users and other

IT staff and verify that they are not required for legitimate use.
