What is AppGuard?

AppGuard is a next-generation endpoint protection solution, originally developed for the US Defence sector and now available to UK local government and commercial organisations. Unlike traditional anti-virus and anti-malware tools, AppGuard uses patented zero-trust technology to block all malicious actions at the kernel level, before they can cause harm. It provides robust, real-time protection against both known and unknown cyber threats, including zero-day attacks, without the need for constant updates or internet connectivity.

Licence Options

AppGuard is available to purchase as endpoint or server licences either as a stand-alone licence or as a fully managed solution, with preferential rates secured for the public sector. Licences are available per endpoint, with server versions and additional Security Operations Centre (SOC) services available as required.

Endpoint Licences (Workstations)

  • Protects individual workstations such as desktops and laptops.
  • Annual subscription per endpoint.
  • Includes full protection, updates, and access to support.
  • Ideal for councils, schools, and organisations with distributed teams.
  • Available as part of a managed service or standalone deployment.

Server Licences

  • Designed for critical infrastructure and server environments.
  • Provides the same zero-trust protection for servers hosting sensitive data or applications.
  • Available as part of a managed service or standalone deployment.
  • Ensures continuity and resilience for core systems.

Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)

AppGuard is normally delivered as a managed service using a certified MSSP, ensuring enhanced monitoring and support for your organisation. This includes:

  • Implementation of AppGuard across your estate.
  • 24/7 Monitoring via the AppGuard Management Console.
  • Policy implementation following Discovery Mode.
  • Policy tuning during Enforcemnt Mode.
  • Updates as required.

Onboarding the MSSP

Upon order confirmation, CCoE will coordinate with your IT team to deploy AppGuard agents across your organisation’s endpoints. The process is designed for minimal disruption and rapid rollout.

A kick-off meeting will be arranged to discuss your specific security challenges and desired outcomes. This includes project planning, implementation support, and access to consultancy and training as needed.

Regular review meetings will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure your organisation continues to benefit from AppGuard’s protection.

Discovery mode is where AppGuard will initially be deployed for a short period to understand which applications are being used and to allow any AppGuard policies to be created to ensure no disruption. Following Discovery Mode, AppGuard will be put into Enforcement Mode providing protection to your endpoints. Some minor policy amendments may be required at this point.
