Jenkins founded ThreatLocker with Sami Jenkins and John Carolan, after he responded to the aftermath of a severe cyberattack on a business. The attack disrupted business operations and nearly resulted in the loss of the company. This incident underscored the critical gaps in reactive cybersecurity strategies and motivated Jenkins to develop a proactive, Zero Trust framework that would prevent infiltration in the first place.
The ThreatLocker Zero Trust Protect Platform features Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, and Network Control to prevent breaches before they happen, including zero-day attacks, through an allow-by-exception approach that’s straightforward to deploy, scale, and manage to keep business operations running uninterrupted.
Today, ThreatLocker protects millions of endpoints worldwide, supported by a team of over 600 Cyber Hero team members. In 2025, ThreatLocker was included in the top 8% of the Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
The rise of generative AI has made ThreatLocker Zero Trust more essential than ever. As AI-generated threats evolve faster than traditional defenses can learn to detect them, only a proactive, deny-by-default approach can stop new and unknown attacks before they strike.
Jenkins’ accomplishments include recognition among Cyber Magazine’s Top 10 Cybersecurity Leaders, CRN Magazine’s Top 100 Executives, and Florida Trend’s Florida 500 list. A member of the Forbes Technology Council, he is a frequent speaker at leading industry conferences and a contributor to Harvard Business Review. Jenkins also hosts regular webinars and in-person Ctrl-Alt-DELight events, helping business leaders stay ahead of emerging cyberthreats and strengthen their defenses.
