This powerful combination of ThreatLocker’s Allowlisting and Ringfencing technologies gives you deep control over your applications and how they interact with your system. By only allowing trusted applications to run and tightly restricting what those applications can access, you dramatically reduce your attack surface and defend against ransomware, zero-day threats, and lateral movement — without slowing down your users.
### **Allowlisting** * **Default-Deny Application Control** * Blocks all applications by default unless explicitly allowed * Prevents unauthorised and malicious software from executing * **Granular Application Approval** * Allow specific apps, versions, and scripts based on your policies * Helps prevent zero-day attacks and unauthorised software use * **Fileless Malware Protection** * Stops script-based and in-memory attacks by blocking unapproved processes * Protects against threats that bypass traditional antivirus * **Real-Time Learning Mode** * Quickly builds a baseline of known-good applications * Simplifies the initial deployment and approval process * * * ### **Ringfencing** * **Application Containment** * Controls how approved applications interact with files, the registry, network, and other software * Prevents applications like Office or web browsers from accessing sensitive areas or tools like PowerShell * **Block Lateral Movement** * Restricts compromised applications from being used to move laterally across your network * Limits access to only what’s necessary for normal operations * **Protect Against Living-off-the-Land Attacks** * Stops abuse of legitimate tools like PowerShell, Command Prompt, and scripting engines * Enforces strict policies around script execution * **Custom Policies Per Application** * Define how each application behaves based on business needs * Restrict internet access, drive access, or file sharing on a per-app basis
