What would likely happen if a student tried to run a disallowed application?

When a student attempts to run a disallowed application in an environment governed by ThreatLocker or a similar application control solution, an application request being generated is a common outcome. This process typically involves logging the attempt and notifying administrators or users that a prohibited action has occurred.

Generating an application request serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it aids in maintaining security protocols by capturing the event and preventing unauthorized applications from executing, which could pose security risks. Secondly, it allows administrators to assess whether the application should be allowed in the future based on its necessity and potential threats it may pose.

This procedure ensures that all attempts to breach application guidelines are recorded, enabling better management of application permissions and keeping the environment secure while providing a chance to review legitimate needs versus security protocols.
