24/7/365 Cyber Hero® support • Typical response within 60 seconds

“ThreatLocker was the most intuitive solution we tested. The responsiveness of the organization and their willingness to work closely with us made a big difference. It’s great to have an ongoing relationship with a company that is so responsive to our requests."

-Rob Thackeray, End User Technical Architect, Heathrow Airport

“ThreatLocker MDR alerted me in real time multiple times. One night around 11 p.m., I received an alert that a user had been moved into a remote users group. It turned out to be one of my staff members working late—but moments like that make it feel like ThreatLocker MDR truly has my back.”

-Jim Tyler, Director of Technology, Niles Community Schools

“Our stress level has significantly decreased since we installed ThreatLocker. But what truly stands out—and still amazes me—is the unbelievable support from the Cyber Hero Team. It’s unlimited, and they genuinely care. They’ll stay on the phone or chat with us until the issue is fully resolved. The first time I experienced their support, I was honestly shocked—I’ve never seen this level of dedication from any vendor.”

-Niyaj Khan, Senior Manager – Cybersecurity, Emirates Flight Catering

“We needed to implement application control across our environment, so we evaluated several products internally. While there were potential candidates, none delivered the same level of impact as ThreatLocker. ThreatLocker is unique in the way it operates."

-Jeremy Parsons, Head of Cybersecurity – Technology, Heathrow Airport

“We sleep better. Our security posture is much stronger, and day-to-day operations are calmer. Software requests are easier because their Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and Cyber Hero Team handle approvals for applications we already use, while we keep control over anything new. That reduces workload without compromising security."

-Matthew Keyes, Director of Network Operations Center, Georgia Military College

Build great control without slowing operations

With the right controls in place, aviation organizations can support around-the-clock operations and keep cyber threats grounded.

600%

increase in ransomware attacks in the aviation sector in 2024

71%

of incidents involve credential theft or unauthorized access to critical systems
Control Healthcare Systems
Secure operations while keeping pivotal modernization initiatives wheels-up
Prevent unauthorized software from disrupting critical operations
Control third-party and vendor access
Reduce exposure across connected IT and operational systems
Secure modernization initiatives and emerging technologies
Improve visibility across distributed environments
Control vendor access without exposing critical systems

Ditch the added complexity for lean IT teams and disruption for students, faculty, and researchers that is often associated with applying Zero Trust controls across decentralized, user-heavy environments. Get a practical framework that enables both hardened security and straightforward access.

How ThreatLocker helps aviation organizations secure distributed environments, control third-party access, and maintain uninterrupted operations. 

Geffen Mesher knew traditional security tools could not always prevent an attacker who gained a foothold from using legitimate applications and system tools to move through the network. The CPA firm needed stronger control over its endpoints, users, and devices.

Common security challenges
How ThreatLocker solves them
Ransomware and unauthorized software can disrupt airport operations, passenger services, and critical business systems
Application Allowlisting blocks unapproved applications, scripts, and executables before they can run
Trusted applications and system tools can be exploited to launch malicious activity
Ringfencing™ limits what approved applications can access, execute, and communicate with, helping break potential attack chains
Connected IT, operational technology, cloud services, and airport infrastructure can enable threats to spread
Zero Trust Endpoint Firewall and granular network policies restrict unnecessary communication and help contain compromised systems
OEMs, maintenance providers, and other third parties often require access to critical resources
Zero Trust Network Access replaces broad network access with controlled connections to only the resources each authorized user requires
Stolen credentials can provide unauthorized access to cloud applications and sensitive aviation data
Zero Trust Cloud Access evaluates the user, device, and access context to block untrusted connections—even when valid credentials are used
Excessive or persistent administrative privileges increase the potential impact of compromised accounts
Privileged Access Management provides controlled, just-in-time elevation without granting permanent administrator rights
Distributed systems make application activity, configuration drift, and security gaps difficult to identify
Unified visibility, Defense Against Configurations, and Centralized Configuration Management help teams identify risks and consistently enforce security standards
Digital transformation, automation, and AI adoption introduce new applications and unpredictable system behavior
Allowlisting and Ringfencing establish clear boundaries around what new technologies can run, access, and communicate with
Security controls must protect around-the-clock operations without creating unnecessary interruptions
Implementing a deny-by-default approach with ThreatLocker allows approved activity to continue while blocking unknown or unauthorized execution
Discover why these state & local government IT leaders use ThreatLocker

When we needed cybersecurity insurance, we ran into challenges because we didn’t have a 24/7 SOC. The MDR solution gives us 24/7/365 monitoring, which helped us meet those requirements.

- Robert Johnson, VP of Enterprise Networks & Systems, Georgia Military College

Teachers reacted very positively to the rollout. They found it reassuring to know expert eyes were on the system and that we were protecting their computers in a proactive rather than reactive way. ThreatLocker has allowed me to reprioritize my time and not constantly worry about end-user computers.

- Robert Schuster, Senior IT Technician, Niles Community Schools

ThreatLocker helps us meet compliance requirements related to personal data protection by giving us oversight and authorization control over third-party access to university systems.

- Erik Cerezo-Tamariz, IT Customer Service Coordinator, University of the Americas Puebla (UDLAP)

Our onboarding experience with ThreatLocker was seamless. We had a great solutions engineer who walked us through the product, helped us configure our servers, and assisted with rolling it out to our individual workstations. Overall, it was not a very difficult process.

- Mike Pritchard, IT Director, STEM School Highlands Ranch

ThreatLocker integrated wonderfully with our existing security stack. It complemented the Microsoft Defender EDR solution we already had and ultimately exceeded our expectations for what it could provide.

- Chris Palian, Senior Information Security Analyst, SUNY ESF

We were supported throughout the entire process. Years later, we still have regular meetings with our ThreatLocker team. Our expectations were greatly exceeded. ThreatLocker has been one of the best installations we've done. It really was what they said it was going to be.

- Dave Johnston, IT Director/CTO, Mendocino College
