    The application and device control works on the clients and it is its own layer of security.

    What exactly do you mean by block at the IP level? Blocking actual malicious IP addresses?

    What exactly are you looking for?  Please  be  more  specific.

     

    Application and  device control is used  to block certain applications from running, or making  changes on the system registry.

    Device  control is used top block usb and other devices.
