I have a corporate policy security that requires application whitelisting. MS Authenticode can properly sign applications and PS scripts (assuming supporting PKI is in place). How can I configure Windows 7 and Windows 10 to only install MS Authenticode signed software to implement application whitelisting? Also, the tags do not include selecting MS Authenticode and it is a MS product. Why?

    Hi,

    Thank you for coming Microsoft Q&A forum.

    As MS Authenticode is not a separated product, it is more likely a measure to support other product, so there is no special tag for it.

    For about whitelisting creation, as I know, it is available to create whitelist with AppLocker in Group Policy and use publisher or hash to limit software installation. But as I know, there is no a special product available to create whitelisting with Authenticode, we might need to contact with third party whitelisting software company to check if it is available for them.

    Bests,
