In this conversation, I speak with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker.

We talk about:

ThreatLocker’s Unique Zero Trust Approach to Cybersecurity:
How ThreatLocker’s "deny by default, permit by exception" methodology, along with automated application learning and built-in definitions for over 4,000 applications, simplifies allowlisting and enhances endpoint security.

Innovations in ThreatLocker’s Control Features:
How ThreatLocker’s ringfencing prevents unauthorized application interactions and data access, and dynamic firewalls mitigate risks like lateral movement and ransomware attacks through endpoint-level network segmentation.

Recent Developments and Cloud Expansion:
How ThreatLocker Detect and Cloud Detect provide advanced detection capabilities for endpoint and cloud environments, including Office 365, enabling anomaly detection, centralized alerts, and proactive threat management.

And more.
