Instead of basing endpoint protection on the identification of malicious applications and suspicious activity, the ThreatLocker platform uses Zero Trust controls to ensure only explicitly allowed applications and processes can run on company devices, preventing unauthorised applications from launching. It reinforces this approach with Ringfencing, which applies the same ‘default-deny’ principles to control what an approved application can do and how it can interact with processes, files, data and the internet. As part of its unified protection for users, devices and networks, ThreatLocker’s endpoint protection platform also provides Elevation Control, Network Control, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. Keith Maskell, Head of Cybersecurity Sales at Titan Data Solutions, describes ThreatLocker’s default-deny solutions as a game-changer for endpoint security. He said: “ThreatLocker has cracked the problem of how to base endpoint security on allow-by-exception and Zero Trust process control, without overloading the customer’s IT team. This comprehensive solution, including both EDR and MDR options, delivers a new level of security that is needed against present and future threats. Threatlocker puts the security focus squarely back on effective prevention of breaches, saving time, money and stress in dealing with downstream events.” titandatasolutions.com ...continued 06 SenseOn to take flight with Kite Channel-first cybersecurity company SenseOn is aiming to boost sales of its adaptive AI-driven cybersecurity solutions through a new partnership with Kite Distribution.
