There are many ways to have development environments. Containers, virtual machines, virtual environments even... but sometimes you need the flexibility to install software on your development system, and in an environment with application control using 'Application Control for Business' this can be tough.

Depending on the organisation it may require forms, pushing new policies and testing by someone who may not understand the requirement, all so you can test a feature with the new version of "insert package/framework here". This takes time, and slows down productivity.

It's important for organisations to have these governed environments to meet industry and regulatory standards, but surely there must be a way to allow the developer flexibility with their system, and even trust they would do the right thing.

Attend this session to understand how you can implement a custom managed installer with your Application Control for Business policies and use a package manager system such as Chocolatey to give Developers that flexibility in different versions or even new software as needed.

Lastly, we'll discuss how you can govern an environment such as this to ensure the maintenance of your security posture and environment.
