Audit Changes in Software Restriction Policies

Software restriction policies are used to block users from installing unwanted software applications; including ransomware or malware. If any such policy is modified, the chances for installation of unwanted applications, especially a malware, are increased greatly. Our Group Policy Auditor tracks all changes made to software restriction policies and notifies you in real time.
