Application Restrictions

Currently employees have full administrative access to their laptop, allowing for any application to be installed without approval. Due to the risk of infection leading to data breach or account compromise, its asked that employees only install applications which are relevant to their job.

The following types of applications are not permitted to be installed on laptops:

  • Remote access software (TeamViewer, LogMeIn etc.)
  • Games
  • VPN clients (Nord VPN, SurfShark etc.)
  • Applications used solely for personal use.
  • Application from unknown developers (random applications from SourceForge for example).
  • Applications which have not been digitally signed.

If you are unsure if an application you require is permitted or not, please contact IT Support for confirmation before installing.
