ORLANDO, Fla, September 16, 2024 - In observance of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, ThreatLocker, a leading provider of Zero Trust cybersecurity solutions, is calling on businesses to enhance their cybersecurity defenses.
“Cyberattacks today are more organized, sophisticated, and better-funded than ever before,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker. “The ransomware market now exceeds the endpoint protection market by $10 billion and continues to expand. Adopting a Zero Trust approach is essential for businesses to defend against ransomware and other emerging cyber threats.”
Jenkins outlines three essential strategies to strengthen cybersecurity defenses:
- Implement Application Allowlisting: Restrict the execution of applications and software to only those explicitly allowed. This proactive measure prevents untrusted software, including ransomware and other malware, from running on any endpoint by default.
- Conduct Regular Testing: Consistently testing and refining defenses can significantly increase an organization’s resilience against cyberattacks and minimize potential damage if a breach occurs.
- Invest in Employee Education: Equip employees with the knowledge to recognize phishing emails, suspicious links, and pop-ups that may signal an attack. Understanding the nature of cyber threats is the first step in preventing them.
ThreatLocker’s suite of products protects almost 50,000 organizations from cyberattacks. By operating with a default deny approach, ThreatLocker reduces the attack surface and mitigates potential vulnerabilities.
What sets ThreatLocker apart in the crowded cybersecurity landscape is its innovative Ringfencing™ technology, which extends Application Allowlisting by applying more granular controls. Rather than simply allowing or blocking entire programs, Ringfencing enables precise restrictions on specific functions within a program, such as internet access, file access, interactions with other software, and more.
Another cornerstone of ThreatLocker’s offerings is Network Control, a centrally managed firewall for endpoints and servers. This feature provides comprehensive control over network traffic, allowing custom-built policies based on IP address, keywords, agent authentication, or dynamic ACLs to secure the network.
