Whitelist / Blacklist Software Report

The White List/Blacklist Software report displays a graphical and tabular report on the installation’s summary details of restriction type software, such as Whitelisted, Blacklisted, or None. You can view installation summary details, such as, Asset ID, Asset code, serial number, installations count, and so on, by clicking the hyperlink in the No. of Installations column in the Installations Summary Details table. You can also view Asset details or software installation details by clicking the No. of Installations hyperlink. Admin or Analyst can access the report based on access privileges assigned through roles.

Usage

The Whitelist / Blacklist Software Report provides visibility into software installed across organizational assets and identifies whether each application complies with defined software policies. It enables IT, security, and compliance teams to track approved (whitelisted) and restricted (blacklisted) software, assess compliance status at the asset level, and detect unauthorized or non‑standard applications in the environment.

This report helps organizations enforce software governance policies, reduce security risks caused by unapproved applications, and support audit and remediation activities by mapping software installations to specific devices and users.

Example

A security administrator reviews the report to ensure that only whitelisted browsers are installed on corporate laptops. By filtering the report on Restriction Type = Blacklist, the administrator can quickly identify any unauthorized software and initiate remediation actions such as uninstalling the application or updating software compliance policies.
