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.
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.
