Purpose
The module establishes an allow-list — a baseline of authorized software for the endpoints across your infrastructure. When endpoint agents collect their software inventories, Kikimora cross-references what it finds against your approved entries and surfaces anything unauthorized, unexpected, or non-compliant.Key concepts
- Approved software — an application explicitly permitted in your organization. Each entry has a name, an optional version, and its matching configuration.
- Unapproved software — an application detected on an endpoint that matches nothing in the baseline.
- Endpoint scoping — compliance data can be read globally across the fleet or narrowed to one endpoint.
- Matching criteria — matching runs on name alone, or on name and version together when Compare by name and version is enabled.
