ThreatLocker Protect for Web

Quick summary

ThreatLocker Protect is a browser-accessible security solution built to strengthen endpoint defenses using a zero-trust approach. It restricts what can run and what can communicate on a device, aiming to stop malicious software and reduce the attack surface for modern networks.

Core protections

• Allowlisting that permits only preapproved applications to execute, preventing unwanted binaries from running.
• A host-level firewall that controls and filters network connections to and from endpoints.
• Centralized audit and logging to gather telemetry and simplify monitoring for IT teams.
• Dynamic access control lists (ACLs) that permit legitimate traffic while blocking unauthorized programs and scripts.

Advanced controls and compliance

• Assistance with regulatory requirements such as NIST, HIPAA, and PCI to support audit-readiness.
• Blocking both known and previously unseen threats, including ransomware attempts and other malware.
• Restrictions on powerful native tools (for example, limiting PowerShell functionality) to reduce exploitation vectors.
• Application ringfencing that narrows what legitimate tools are allowed to do, limiting lateral movement and misuse.

Operational advantages

ThreatLocker Protect centralizes policy enforcement and reporting, which reduces administrative overhead for security teams. By combining execution controls, network filtering, and unified logging, it offers a compact toolset for preventing unauthorized software activity and improving visibility across endpoints.
