APPLICATION

SECTOR
Sectors are used by economists to classify economic activity
by grouping companies that are engaged in similar business
activity by grouping companies that are engaged in similar
business activities. Some sectors are engaged in activities
that involve the earliest stage of the production cycle , such

manufacturing of goods using those raw materials. Sectors
are broken out into four main categories.
Primary sector-primary sector companies are typically
engaged in economic activity that utilizes the earth’s natural
resources
Secondary sector- secondary sector consist of processing,
manufacturing and construction companies.

transmitted.

Completeness checks- ensure records processing from

initiation to completion
Validity checks-ensure only valid data is input or
processed
Identification- ensure unique, irrefutable identification of
all users
Authentication-ensure unique, irrefutable identification of
all users
Authorization-ensure access to the application system by
approved business users only
Input controls-ensure data integrity feeds into the
application system from upstream sources
Forensic controls-ensure scientifically and
mathematically correct data, based on inputs and outputs

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF APPLICATION

CONTROL
 Automatically identify trusted software that
has authorization
 Prevent all unauthorized applications from
executing
 Eliminate unwanted application to reduce IT
complexity and risk
 Improve our overall network stability
 Identify all application running within the
endpoint environment
 Protect against exploits of unpatched OS and
third party application vulnerabilities
