Understanding Whitelist Policy

A Whitelist Policy is a cybersecurity strategy that specifies a list of approved entities, such as programs, IP addresses, or users, that are allowed to access specific resources or services within a network. This policy works by permitting only the pre-approved entities while blocking all others by default, thereby enhancing security controls and reducing the attack surface for potential threats.
