What is ThreatLocker® User Store?
The ThreatLocker® User Store is a catalog of pre-approved applications that lets your users run the apps they need—without compromising your cybersecurity stance. Once you set up your library, you can easily manage license keys and counts there as well. Best of all, you save time, reduce frustrations, and keep your security framework strong without extra effort as users install new apps.
How does ThreatLocker® User Store work?
Fact: Zero Trust is the most robust and secure approach to cybersecurity.
Also a fact: It can introduce user experience challenges—authentication fatigue, access delays, and added complexity.
At the core of our Zero Trust solutions, we’ve tackled these challenges head-on with Cyber Hero® 60-second response times and a streamlined application approval process. Now, we’re raising the bar even higher with the new ThreatLocker User Store application. A user needs to install an application on their machine. The requested application is not on your current Allowlist. This is how the ThreatLocker User Store comes to the rescue.
1. Instead of denying the request, we offer a list of compatible pre-approved apps from the ThreatLocker User Store. If the requested app is in the ThreatLocker User Store, we present it directly—no alternatives needed.
2. The user chooses the application option, and the rest is a breeze:
- They are free to install the pre-approved application without requesting approval.
- The pre-approved application comes with optional temporary elevation to install on user’s device and we’ll automatically create a new Allowlisting policy for the application.
- Plus, based on your pre-approved settings, we could immediately harden your environment with additional Ringfencing™ policies to restrict access to other applications, files, the internet, and the registry.
Your users now have a new application on their device with minimal disruption to their project. They feel empowered and in control, and you didn’t have to do anything to maintain your secure Zero Trust environment.
