What is the first step in setting up ThreatLocker?

The first step in setting up ThreatLocker involves installing the ThreatLocker Agent on the endpoints. Installing the agent is crucial because it establishes the primary connection between the endpoints and the ThreatLocker management console. This step allows for the implementation of several key functionalities, including monitoring and controlling application behavior, enforcing policies, and protecting sensitive data.

Once the agent is successfully installed on the endpoints, you can proceed with further configurations, such as configuring network settings, creating user accounts, and setting up firewalls to enhance security. However, without the agent in place, none of these subsequent steps would be effective, as the ThreatLocker system would lack the means to manage or protect the endpoints. Thus, the agent installation is foundational for any further setup and administration of ThreatLocker.
