Tranquil IT Forum

Hello,

I would like to see applications installed in %appdata%, such as Signal or WhatsApp Web, in the software inventory.
Is this possible?

Thank you
, Frédérique

Hello

, you can use this package: https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/tis-a ... -softwares

This will display the software in the audit data.

There's also this package for apps:

https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/detai ... _PROD.wapt

Hello Frédérique,

and once you've completed your audit and standardized the installations, the ultimate measure from a security and controlled asset management perspective is to configure AppLocker/SRP to block executable files in the %appdata% directory. This is very effective in preventing all kinds of malware.

Best regards,

Denis

Thank you.

I downloaded the TIS and pushed the package to my computer. Unfortunately, I can't find Signal and WhatsApp Web in the software inventory, even though they appear in Add/Remove Programs

. We'll implement AppLocker (via SentinelOne).

No, in this case it will appear in the audit data tab.
Have you looked in the audit data tab?

oh yes indeed

I now need to extract this data with a report, I think.
Thank you.

Hello Frédérique,

The Add/Remove Programs interface in Windows aggregates system-wide software and software installed within the user session. If this content is displayed, the information shown in WAPT would depend on the currently logged-in user, which could be misleading. It's important to differentiate between the two (and Microsoft doesn't help by mixing everything together...).

And well, as I said earlier, the best thing to do is to block the installation in %appdata%
