What occurs when an unauthorized application attempts to execute under ThreatLocker?

When an unauthorized application attempts to execute under ThreatLocker, the system is designed to block the application and generate an alert. This proactive approach is a core function of ThreatLocker's application control technology, which aims to prevent potential security threats posed by unapproved or malicious applications. By blocking unauthorized applications, ThreatLocker ensures that only trusted software is allowed to run, thereby protecting the system from potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

The generation of an alert alongside the blocking action serves a critical role in incident response and monitoring. It provides security teams with immediate feedback regarding unauthorized attempts, allowing them to investigate and take necessary actions to mitigate any risks effectively. This dual mechanism of blocking and alerting is essential for maintaining the integrity and security of the systems managed under ThreatLocker.
