Which method can ThreatLocker use to block Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)?

ThreatLocker can effectively block Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) using a network control policy. This is due to the capability of ThreatLocker to manage network traffic based on predefined rules, allowing organizations to specify which protocols and ports should be accessible or blocked. By setting up a network control policy focused on RDP, administrators can ensure that only authorized users can access the remote desktop services, thereby minimizing potential security risks associated with unauthorized RDP access.

The other methods listed, while they may have some relevance to securing RDP access, do not provide the same level of targeted and comprehensive control that a network control policy does. Local firewall settings can block RDP traffic but lack the centralized management and ease of policy deployment that ThreatLocker offers. Third-party antivirus software typically focuses on malware detection and does not specifically manage network protocol access like RDP. Password protection, while essential for securing access, does not prevent unauthorized users from attempting to connect; it merely adds a layer of authentication without controlling the protocol access itself.
