September 17, 2024

Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2024, London, U.K, 17 September: ThreatLocker CEO and Co-Founder Danny Jenkins is scheduled to speak at this year’s Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, taking place September 23-25, 2024. As a leading expert in cybersecurity, Jenkins will be joining an impressive lineup of speakers where he will be discussing the evolving threat of malware and how organisations need to better prepare themselves to protect their most valuable asset - data.

 On September 23, Jenkins’ talk, titled ‘How to Create Successful Malware and Defend with Zero Trust’, will take a deep dive nto how successful malware is created and as a result, will enable organisations to better understand how they can more effectively defend themselves against those attacks. Malware has evolved significantly within the last few years and with the use of generative AI, even novice hackers with little coding experience are able to create successful malware that can threaten an organisation’s confidential information.

 Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit brings together experts, thought leaders and innovators to explore the evolving landscape of security and digital risks. The 3-day summit will give attendees valuable insights on pressing issues that are affecting the industry such asgenerative AI’s role in cybersecurity, security governance and metrics, andmore.

 “We believe, the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit is dedicated to highlighting the very real threats that organisations of all sizes face,” said Jenkins. “The cybersecurity landscape is evolving at a phenomenal pace driven by emerging technologies such as generative AI and machine learning.”

Ransomware and other malicious software can copy or encrypt files in a few minutes. ThreatLocker uses a more logical approach to stop viruses and malware from affecting businesses. ThreatLocker Application Control uses a combination of default deny and Ringfencing™ to protect businesses from known and unknown malware threats.

·        Zero-Day Attacks: ThreatLocker protects against vulnerabilities that haven’t even been discovered yet.

·        Macro Viruses: Malware embedded in trusted programs such as Office can’t overcome ThreatLocker Ringfencing.

·        Fileless Malware: Even malware that hides in memory can’t sneak in; if its code isn’t on the trusted list, it isn’t getting access.

·        Ransomware: Ringfencing lets users dictate how apps interact with data; if a program tries to encrypt data it isn’t authorised to, it will be blocked.
