Stop threats before they execute—not after the damage is done.
Most endpoint protection platforms claim to stop ransomware and zero-days by using behavioral analysis, AI models, and cloud threat intelligence. But all of those tools share one thing in common: They act after something suspicious happens.
That’s not prevention. That’s response after the fact.
ThreatLocker does things differently.
With a true Zero Trust approach, nothing runs unless you explicitly allow it. Whether it’s ransomware, remote access tools, fileless malware, or an unapproved script—it’s stopped before it ever executes.
WHAT MAKES THREATLOCKER DIFFERENT?
Stop malware before it starts
Other platforms rely on threat signatures, machine learning, or post-execution behavior. With AI-generated malware, attackers are now evolving faster than models can keep up.
With ThreatLocker, you get the upper hand:
- Default deny by design—unapproved applications, scripts, and binaries are blocked from launching. LOLBins and shadow IT tools can’t run unless explicitly allowed
- No reliance on cloud lookups, pattern matching, or AI guesswork
Stop breaches before they start.
Lock down what runs with full control
- Approve only what you need. Everything else? Denied by default
- Block unknown scripts, macros, and DLLs—even if they originate from "safe" apps
- Monitor and control what executes, how it behaves, and who approved it
- Prevent lateral movement and misuse of trusted apps with Ringfencing—control what software can access, connect to, or launch
Define exactly what runs, when, and where.
Faster deployment and less complexity
Avoid tools that require extensive tuning or weeks of policy refinement. You have more important things to do.
- Easily auto-build your allowlist using real-world activity with ThreatLocker Allowlisting Learning Mode
- Approve or deny app requests in seconds—no manual scripting or rule writing required
- Reduce alert fatigue, false positives, and “missed detections”
Agile deployment in days.
go beyond detection.
The "Maybe it’ll catch it" approach no longer cuts it. ThreatLocker puts you in control of what runs on your endpoints—not an algorithm or a signature file.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
Application allowlisting has a stigma around it due to the difficulty of implementation—and I think that’s fair. But what sets ThreatLocker apart is how much they lower the barrier to entry. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly into an environment, allowing you to baseline known-good activity on a device.

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.

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.
