ThreatLocker offers a modern approach to security through Application Allowlisting, which blocks unapproved applications by default while allowing trusted ones to run. This method enhances visibility, control, and efficiency in managing software, reducing risks associated with traditional EDR tools. Users can easily request and approve new applications, making the process seamless and minimizing disruptions.
Ringfencing by ThreatLocker enhances cybersecurity by controlling application interactions and limiting access to sensitive data, thus reducing the risk of cyberattacks, including those using fileless malware. It allows organizations to create tailored security policies for applications, ensuring that only necessary permissions are granted and preventing potential exploits. The service is designed to support a wide range of applications, providing a robust defense against unauthorized access and data breaches.
ThreatLocker Elevation Control is an endpoint privilege management tool that allows system administrators to manage user permissions more securely by enabling specific applications to run with elevated privileges without granting users local admin rights. This policy-driven approach enhances security by reducing the attack surface and providing finer control over application execution, while also allowing for temporary elevation and user-requested permissions. The integration with application control modules further streamlines the management of application permissions.
A ransomware attack targeting a hospital was thwarted by ThreatLocker, which utilized application allowlisting and storage control to prevent unauthorized software from running and protect sensitive data. The cybercriminals, frustrated by the security measures, were unable to deploy their tools or execute their plan. This incident highlights how ThreatLocker effectively defends against such cyber threats.
ThreatLocker’s Defense Against Configurations (DAC) dashboard automatically identifies misconfigurations in systems and aligns them with compliance and security requirements. By providing real-time visibility and actionable insights, DAC helps organizations eliminate vulnerabilities and improve their security posture efficiently. It integrates seamlessly into the ThreatLocker platform, offering a unified experience for monitoring and remediation.
Application Allowlisting is a robust security strategy that only permits approved software to run on a network, effectively blocking all unauthorized applications, including malware and ransomware. By employing a Learning Mode for initial assessment, IT admins can create a tailored allowlist that enhances endpoint security and reduces the risk of cyber threats. ThreatLocker provides tools for risk-assessed approvals and automatic updates, ensuring continuous protection and streamlined management of applications.
ThreatLocker Web Control allows organizations to manage web access and block phishing threats without the need for additional tools, simplifying cybersecurity management. It offers quick setup, prebuilt protections, and the ability to enforce security policies across both managed and unmanaged devices. The platform aims to eliminate third-party risks while enhancing visibility and control over web access.
