ThreatLocker’s Defense Against Configurations (DAC) dashboard helps organizations identify and fix misconfigurations that could lead to cyberattacks. Misconfigurations like inactive admin accounts, forgotten firewall rules, or default settings can create vulnerabilities that attackers exploit. DAC acts as a centralized tool within the ThreatLocker platform, providing a clear view of system configurations and highlighting areas needing attention. Once enabled, DAC becomes the main dashboard for users, offering daily scans of systems and a sortable list of configuration issues based on severity. It allows security teams to monitor USB drive permissions, ensure compliance with standards like NIST and HIPAA, and receive actionable remediation guidance. Administrators get weekly emails summarizing critical configuration issues, including affected systems and suggested fixes. The solution operates directly on endpoints without affecting performance, eliminating the need for additional software or integrations. Key benefits of DAC include real-time visibility into configuration status, improved security by addressing common setup flaws, and simplified compliance with major frameworks. It also supports FedRAMP compliance by identifying gaps in NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-53 controls. Overall, DAC is aimed at helping organizations tighten their security posture efficiently and effectively.
