ThreatLocker® Web Control
Web access control is a must-have for cybersecurity, but it often means adding yet another third-party tool to your stack. That means more vetting, integration headaches, and potential security gaps. Let’s simplify.
Why ThreatLocker® Web Control?
- Seamless integration. A unified solution in one platform. No need for additional tools and portals.
- Agent or agentless options available. With the ThreatLocker agent, you gain more control, more flexibility, and better user experience.
- Access to millions of data points. We automatically identify unknown sites and stop phishing attacks.
How does ThreatLocker® Web Control work?
A few simple network configurations—that’s all it takes. And we will take care of them. We'll do all the heavy lifting.
- Build libraries of prohibited websites and dynamically update them for you
- Ensure a great experience for your teammates: our Web Control does not rely on a DNS redirecting users to another website that will often cause certificate errors. Instead, they will be redirected to a company-managed page with instructions on their options. With the new ThreatLocker Web Control, we eliminate all these risks and extra work. In addition, ThreatLocker browser extension enhances the user experience, letting them easily request permission to blocked sites.
- Protect your network from unmanaged devices. When a visitor or your employees connect to your company’s network through their personal, unmanaged devices, we will apply the same policies to secure your environment. Thus, we are reducing the risk of anyone getting a foothold into your network.
- Organize website categories in advance, so you can quickly identify and block potential malicious websites.
- Stay compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS with much less effort.
