ThreatLocker and Cybersecurity Approaches
ThreatLocker implements a least-privileged approach to cybersecurity, blocking all executables unless explicitly authorized by the organization. This strategy aims to mitigate various cyber threats including ransomware, supply chain attacks, and zero-day exploits, thus providing comprehensive protection around the clock. Organizations use this approach to safeguard their data and operations, aligning their security frameworks with established compliance standards. By restricting executable permissions, ThreatLocker effectively limits the avenues through which attackers can penetrate a system.
