Absolutely, There are a few minor implementations of this but it's something that directory and management systems could incorporate. As most OS's have an "executable permission", it would be an idea to have software thats not in the white-list renderred incapable of having this permission, combined with scan on execute to ensure that the any software that previously has the permissions doesn't execute. This isn't an entirely new idea, but it is one that isn't very well implemented at this stage as noted. ( Gap in the market for any startups reading the list :-P ) -- With Regards..
