Incident response in cybersecurity

Experiencing a breach?

If you are experiencing a cyber incident, we can start deploying ThreatLocker® within 15 minutes.

Incident response with default deny and cyberattack prevention

ThreatLocker changes the dynamics of incident response from a default allow to a default deny perspective.

Using ThreatLocker, you can immediately take control of the environment and secure the machines once deployed. You can automatically select the software you need to run, and block everything else, preventing another cyberattack.

What is incident response?

Unfortunately, attackers can often use good and bad software in your environment with self-evolving/reproducing malware that creates new signatures each time, slipping past detection tools and going undetected; rendering the detection process unreliable on its own.

Incident response is the process of implementing a solution to recover from a cyberattack and ensuring that future cyberattacks do not occur because of footholds and other unknown malware being left behind.  Traditional cybersecurity has become a process of documenting known behavioral patterns within an environment and reacting to anything that steps out of those lines.

Complete visibility into your environment

The ThreatLocker agent will give you complete visibility immediately on all network traffic, executions, elevations, and access to all the files within an environment. Once the agent is deployed, you can lock down and start granting access on a process and user level.  

The Unified Audit hosts countless logs of data collected by each product in the full ThreatLocker Protection Platform. Because of these logs, incident response professionals can employ the Unified Audit to track where malware has originated within an organization and where it is actively executing.

complete visibility on:

  • Software that has run or was blocked after attempting to run
  • How applications interact with other applications, network resources, registry keys, or files, or if there is an attempt to interact with these resources maliciously
  • Software that has run or was blocked after attempting to run
  • Who or what attempted to interact with your data files
  • Attempts to take admin-level actions on user accounts
  • The inbound and outbound network traffic between endpoints and the internet

Application containment

ThreatLocker can review all permitted software and limit what it can do. ThreatLocker Ringfencing can prevent an application from becoming weaponized and stepping out of line via communicating with other applications, your data, the internet, and anything else it does not need access to. Threat actors will often use tools that live off the land such as PowerShell, the registry, or RunDLL. With ThreatLocker Ringfencing, you can immediately lock those down so they cannot encrypt or exfiltrate your data, hardening the environment.
When deploying ThreatLocker into an infected environment in full Lockdown Mode, you can contain any unknown malware by essentially “freezing” everything executing on an endpoint. This will not only contain malware and prevent it from spreading between endpoints, but also prevent malware and threat actors from re-infecting endpoints that have been validated as clean and secure. If you utilize multiple tools in your incident response strategy, you can implement policies within ThreatLocker to allow just those tools to run in the victim’s environment to initiate the investigation or recovery process.
