ThreatLocker

ThreatLocker approaches endpoint protection through explicit control over what applications are allowed to run and what those applications are permitted to access. Its allowlisting model uses a deny-by-default approach so unapproved software, scripts and dependencies cannot execute simply because they are present on an endpoint. Ringfencing adds another layer by restricting the files, network resources and applications an approved program can interact with. ThreatLocker also provides privileged access management and other Zero Trust capabilities, creating a layered control model rather than relying only on malware detection. This approach is particularly relevant to organizations concerned about ransomware and unauthorized software execution. MSPs and SMB-focused IT teams are an important audience because centralized policy management can make application control easier to operate across multiple environments.
