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.
- Smarter protection. With access to millions of data points—including insights from trusted sources like the UK Safer Internet Centre—we automatically identify unknown or suspicious sites and help stop phishing attacks.
How ThreatLocker® Web Control works
A few simple network configurations—that’s all it takes.
And we will take care of them. We'll do all the heavy lifting.
More than just a website blocker
- 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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Network Control is a powerful solution to your networking security needs, but it requires having an agent installed on every endpoint. While this is the preferred method of overall security by using the ThreatLocker agent, ThreatLocker Web Control does not require an agent to provide security to your network.
By configuring your network to utilize ThreatLocker Web Control to handle your DNS requests, your policies can control content being delivered on your network to all devices connected, including mobile devices.
No, it is not a prerequisite. However, with ThreatLocker Web Control enabled in tandem with Network Control, you will have expanded functionality on blocked content through Network Control. With the use of a Chrome extension, your users will be routed to a ThreatLocker web page that shows why they cannot access the page and gives the option to request access. This will give your administrators notifications of requests through our current supported methods, along with a quick way to action and grant access.
Exclusions will be supported with the launch of ThreatLocker Web Control. As an example, should you need to block access to social media platforms and wish to use our built-in, you can create exclusions to specific platforms based on business needs.
We have plans to increase the customization options and to allow branding soon, giving your users the information they need and a more comfortable experience when they experience a blocked web page.
No, ThreatLocker will process your agent-based policies before needing to reach out to ThreatLocker Web Control as a catch-all for any traffic that is not being explicitly blocked through a Network Control policy.
ThreatLocker Web Control logs will be produced in your Unified Audit showing which web DNS requests have been blocked, giving visibility to content attempted to be accessed.

Build your application allowlist without lifting a finger.
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.

See everything running in your environnment, instantly.
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 were able to see every learned application on our system... that doesn't happen very often.

Get a clear view of application usage and exposure.
The advantage of using ThreatLocker in our organization is we now have a much better understanding of the applications that run on our estate and the potential risks of using those applications. And it helps us inform our risk score as an enterprise.

Stop lateral movement inside your network.
Our servers were vulnerable once someone gained access to the network. ThreatLocker was the solution we needed. The platform makes me more conscious of what's coming in and out of our network... It gave me an opportunity to look behind the scenes.

Go beyond what an antivirus could ever do.
The ThreatLocker solution was perfect for us. With ThreatLocker Unified Audit, we get a clear description of what is allowed or denied on our network, and why. If I had a choice between an antivirus and ThreatLocker, I'd take ThreatLocker all day long.

Control risk across your entire organization.
Before ThreatLocker, we had a lot of risk that we just couldn't control. Now, we're doing a better of a job of providing a secure environment for our patients, doctors, and manufacturers. We want to make sure we're really protecting our network. ThreatLocker lets us do that very well.

Customize your security to fit your environment.
What we liked about ThreatLocker was how each tool built on the last, allowing us to control exactly how granular we wanted to get with locking down our environment. We had explored other options, but wWith ThreatLocker, we were able to get everything we needed from one place.

Revolutionize your cybersecurity with powerful best-in-class tools.
Prior to ThreatLocker, we didn’t have a solution in place to help with application whitelisting. Implementing it into our environment was truly game-changing because we’d never used anything like it before. It came in, took control, and significantly reduced our threat landscape.
