What is the function of application lockdown in Intercept X?

The function of application lockdown in Intercept X is to prevent malicious behavior in software. This feature is designed to protect systems by allowing only trusted applications to run and blocking unauthorized or potentially harmful applications. By establishing a set of rules that define which applications are permitted, the application lockdown significantly reduces the risk of malware or other unwanted software being executed on a system. This helps maintain a secure environment and minimizes the chances of a security breach through the exploitation of vulnerabilities in unapproved programs.

In contrast, options focusing on enhancing performance, allowing all applications to run, or automatically updating software do not align with the primary goal of application lockdown, which is centered on security and preventing threats rather than optimizing functionality or managing application versions.
