What is a primary method for ThreatLocker to maintain security?

Implementing precise application controls is fundamental to ThreatLocker’s security strategy. This approach involves defining and enforcing strict rules about which applications are allowed to run within an organization’s network. By allowing only verified and approved applications, ThreatLocker significantly reduces the risk of malicious software execution, as unauthorized applications or potentially harmful code cannot execute without explicit permission. This strong control over application usage helps organizations maintain a secure environment and prevents data breaches or system compromises.

Other traditional methods like creating backups, establishing firewalls, and regular software updates play important roles in a comprehensive security posture but are not the primary focus of ThreatLocker’s strategy. Backups protect data from loss, firewalls block unauthorized access, and software updates patch vulnerabilities, yet these measures do not provide the same level of proactive and precise application-level control that ThreatLocker employs to prevent threats at their source.
