What occurs when you allow specific executable files while denying all others?

  • whitelisting
  • blacklisting
  • greylisting
  • redlisting
Explanation:
When you whitelisting, you are creating a list of allowed applications while denying all others. Those approved applications are designated as whitelisted. These lists can also be used for domain name allowance with DNS. Several products are available that check for applications that are not on the whitelist, including attempts to install those applications. For example, the logs generated by the whitelisting product would tell you if someone had attempted to install a key logger.

When blacklisting, you create a list of denied applications while allowing all others. These lists can also be used for domain name blocking with DNS. Blacklisting is an allow by default concept, where all software is allowed to execute unless it is on the Deny List.

There is no form of filtering called redlisting or greylisting.
