Just want to confirm the correct definition of application whitelisting.<br />
<br />
Is Application whitelisting just for checking if the bat/executable to be executed is authorized or not?<br />
<br />
Any update in executable on a host &nbsp;is not in the scope of application whitelisting?<br />
If I would like to detect file changes, I would need a tool like HIDS/NIDS. Is my understanding correct?

Application whitelisting vs executable change

An application server is a software framework that provides both facilities to create applications and a server environment to run them. Most application server frameworks contain a comprehensive service layer model, acting as a set of components accessible to the software developer through an API defined by the platform itself. For Web applications, these components are usually performed in the same running environment as their web server(s), and their main job is to support the construction of dynamic pages. However, many application servers target much more than just Web page generation: they implement services like clustering, fail-over, and load-balancing.

Application Servers

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

Microsoft Applications

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
