EDR watches. ThreatLocker stops.
Block ransomware, unauthorized apps, and fileless attacks before they ever execute.
Traditional EDR platforms detect and respond. But by the time they act, the damage may already be done. Delays in analysis, reliance on AI, and reactive behavioral scanning create gaps that attackers exploit.
ThreatLocker takes a fundamentally different approach. It doesn’t watch. It blocks. With default deny at the core, nothing runs unless you explicitly allow it.
That means zero-days, unauthorized applications, and advanced threats are stopped before they can launch.
Prevention beats detection every time.
EDR tools depend on indicators of compromise (IoCs), cloud analysis, and AI algorithms. But malware evolves faster than these systems can keep up. Unknown threats, fileless attacks, and cleverly disguised payloads often go unnoticed until it’s too late. ThreatLocker closes the door before attackers knock with complete control over what can run in your environment.
The power of true Application Control without the complexity
- Allow-by-exception, deny-by-default allowlisting across apps, scripts, libraries, and tools
- Automatically block unauthorized PowerShell, DLLs, macros, and installers—before they become a threat
- Full visibility and control over what’s running—and who approved it
Deploys in days only with Learning Mode's automatic application cataloging
Fast to deploy. Easy to manage. Hard to bypass.
- Automatically inventory, catalog, and create policies for your applications, even if they’ve never been seen before, with Allowlisting Learning Mode
- Approve new requests in seconds usingApprove new requests in seconds using real-time workflows, Cyber Hero support, or the User Store real-time workflows, Cyber Hero® support, or the User Store
- Dramatically cut down alert fatigue and reduce user frustrations with TheatLocker User Store
Deploy in days, not months or even years.
Harden every layer with built-in protection tools
- Block unapproved USB devices natively, without third-party add-ons
- Enforce strict application boundaries with Ringfencing™—prevent lateral movement and contain even approved apps from misuse
Stop the weaponization of trusted applications.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
I feel much safer and much more secure knowing the ThreatLocker MDR team is a highly reliable partner in our holistic security program, helping us maintain strong security across the entire organization better than any other MDR I’ve worked with.
Jack Thompson
Director Information Security
Indianapolis Colts
Learning mode helped us to figure out what is our allowlist, and it built it for us without us having to do much of anything at all. Once we had that allowlist, then we were able to further benefit to know what our inventory of software was across departments.
Brian Perkinson
Network Engineer

Within the first week of implementing ThreatLocker, we were able to view our entire inventory of applications—something my team always had to do manually. Within an hour or two, we could see every learned application on our system.
