Why Airlock Digital : Industries : Public Sector

# Fortify Federal Government Cybersecurity with Airlock Digital

Proactive protection for essential government functions

Federal agencies face evolving cyber threats as they manage sensitive data, provide critical public services, and support national infrastructure. These organizations must navigate complex IT and OT environments while adhering to standards including the [Essential Eight](https://www.airlockdigital.com/compliance/essential-eight-compliance), the [Protective Security Policy Framework](https://www.protectivesecurity.gov.au/) (PSPF), and the [Australian Signals Directorate Information Security Manual](https://architecture.digital.gov.au/standard/information-security-manual-ism) (ASD ISM).

Airlock Digital provides federal government agencies with proven application control technology designed to mitigate cyber risks, ensure operational continuity, and de-risk compliance.

## How Airlock Digital Supports Federal Civilian Agencies

Deny by Default Security

Block untrusted applications, scripts, and processes from executing, significantly reducing the attack surface.

Granular Application Control

Define trusted applications and processes at the file, path, publisher, or process level for precise control.

Leverage industry-leading VirusTotal threat intelligence to gain file-level context and inform allowlisting decisions.

Comprehensive Audit Trails

Maintain detailed logs of all endpoint executions and execution-attempts, to simplify compliance and support incident investigations.

Precision Blocklisting

Define which files you want to block by using a variety of launch conditions - including path, product name, publisher, version, user, command line, operating system and more - providing precise control over what is denied execution.

On-Premises Deployment Option

Airlock Digital is available as an on-premises solution, deployed in federal clouds, or as a managed cloud service.

Legacy Endpoint Support

Protect endpoints running legacy operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and later, and Linux distributions including RedHat 6 and later.
