Cyber Hero Support has been a tremendous asset throughout our ThreatLocker rollout. When a user requests an application, the team provides a guaranteed 3- to 5-minute SLA to approve it, properly authorize it, or alert our team for further investigation. This has been especially valuable during off-hours, when our team isn't always immediately available, and it helps ensure the business continues to run smoothly.

Here's how it works

Your organization defines the approval policies. We follow them.

The Cyber Hero Team evaluates application requests according to the guidelines you've established, validates software when necessary, and processes approvals on your behalf. When requests require escalation, they are routed according to your rules.
Your approval policies
You decide the rules, including:

Which applications can be approved

Which requests require escalation

Which applications should always be denied

Whether approvals are allowed only for business applications

Minimum software reputation requirements

Any organization-specific approval requirements
Every approval follows your policies.
ThreatLocker has been an outstanding partner. With most vendors, support can take a day or more, but the ThreatLocker Cyber Hero® Team responds in 60 seconds or less on average.

Expert application validation

When an application already exists within the ThreatLocker Allowlisting catalog, it can often be approved immediately.

When additional validation is required, the Cyber Hero Team safely analyzes the application in a ThreatLocker testing environment before approving it according to your organization's policies.
Faster approvals for users

Cyber Hero Approvals help deliver faster approvals for end users while reducing the time your internal team spends reviewing routine application requests.
More time for your IT team
