Adaptive application control is an intelligent, automated, end-to-end solution from Azure Security Center which helps you control which applications can run on your Azure and non-Azure VMs (Windows and Linux). Among other benefits, this helps harden your VMs against malware. Security Center uses machine learning to analyze the applications running on your VMs and creates an allow list from this intelligence.
