How does ThreatLocker manage updates to applications?

ThreatLocker manages updates to applications primarily through policy adjustments. This approach allows organizations to maintain control over which applications are allowed to run, including their update processes. By configuring policies, administrators can dictate specific behaviors regarding application updates without requiring manual intervention or complete reinstallation. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining security and stability in the environment, ensuring that only approved updates are implemented.

While manual installation and complete reinstalls suggest a more disruptive approach to managing applications, automatically scheduling updates can also pose risks if not closely monitored. Policy adjustments provide a strategic way to manage updates effectively while ensuring compliance with security protocols and organizational needs. This method enables organizations to adapt their application frameworks dynamically, reducing vulnerabilities that may arise from unapproved or unexpected changes in application behavior.
