Elevating Java JAR Files

NOTE: For an overview on elevating JAR files and also preventing .JAR files from running, which could need admin rights, see the Elevate (or smack down) scripts and Java JAR files video.

You can use Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) Least Privilege Manager to elevate a Java JAR file, or block it from running, in order to prevent attacks that originate over email or on USB flash drives.

To start making rules for Java JAR files right-click in the window and select Add > New Java (JAR) Policy.
