Whitelisting the Future of Security?

The threat landscape has changed over the last years. Security vendors cannot cope with the snowballing of malware. More than 1000 new virus samples per day bring malware analysts to their knees. Unwieldy!
No way to get the situation under control with the conventional methods.

Whitelisting and Application Control may change everything. The approach to focus on the "good" applications changes the paradigm of security management. And with that change in thinking there come lots of new possibilities to prevail.

To whitelist doesn't mean to exclude other techniques like blacklisting or monitoring of behavioral patterns or whatever.

In any case it it will decrease resource consumption of security software and improve scan performance. Market-ready implementations of white-listing in client security software like Symantec's Norton 2010 demonstrate that. impressively!
