What is the name of the application where ThreatLocker places files it identifies as drivers?

The application in which ThreatLocker places files it identifies as drivers is correctly referred to as $hostname\drivers. This naming convention is intuitive as it directly reflects the purpose of the folder—specifically designed to store driver files.

In the context of system organization, drivers are crucial components that allow the operating system and applications to communicate effectively with hardware devices. Placing them in a designated directory ensures that the system mechanisms intended for driver management can easily access and verify these files.

Folders such as $hostname\files, $hostname\applications, or $hostname\components may sound reasonable at first glance, but they do not specifically denote the function of housing drivers. $hostname\files is too generic and could contain various file types; $hostname\applications specifically suggests executable programs rather than driver files; while $hostname\components might include a broader range of elements, not limited to just drivers. Consequently, $hostname\drivers is the most accurate and appropriate designation for this purpose.
