# AppLocker Guidance

Microsoft AppLocker is an [application whitelisting](https://apps.nsa.gov/iaarchive/library/ia-guidance/security-tips/application-whitelisting.cfm) feature built into Windows. Application whitelisting is one of [Information Assurance top 10 mitigation strategies](https://apps.nsa.gov/iaarchive/library/ia-guidance/iads-top-10-information-assurance-mitigation-strategies.cfm).

This project contains scripts and configuration files for aiding administrators in implementing Microsoft AppLocker as outlined in the [Application Whitelisting using Microsoft AppLocker](https://apps.nsa.gov/iad/library/ia-guidance/tech-briefs/application-whitelisting-using-microsoft-applocker.cfm) paper. 

**The starter policy provided in this repository is for Windows 7 and Windows 10**. A Group Policy Object (GPO) for Windows 10 can be found in the [AppLocker folder](https://github.com/nsacyber/Windows-Secure-Host-Baseline/tree/master/AppLocker) in the [Windows Secure Host Baseline repository](https://github.com/nsacyber/Windows-Secure-Host-Baseline/).
