How does ThreatLocker categorize an application in terms of interaction?

ThreatLocker categorizes an application based on its interaction with other applications. This approach is centered around understanding how software components communicate and work with each other within a given environment. By analyzing these interactions, ThreatLocker can determine the behavior and trustworthiness of an application, enabling better security measures to be implemented.

This method allows for a more granular control over application permissions and can help identify potential vulnerabilities or malicious behavior resulting from how applications engage with one another. It enhances the overall security posture by ensuring that applications are not just assessed in isolation but rather in the context of their operational landscape.

The other criteria, such as type of data accessed, performance metrics, or location on the network, are important factors in their own right but do not focus specifically on the interaction between applications, which is pivotal for understanding and managing application security effectively.
