About

BitLocker Drive Encryption is a data protection feature that integrates with the operating system and addresses the threats of data theft or exposure from lost, stolen, or inappropriately decommissioned computers. BitLocker provides the most protection when used with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 1.2 or later. The TPM is a hardware component installed in many newer computers by the computer manufacturers. It works with BitLocker to help protect user data and to ensure that a computer has not been tampered with while the system was offline. On computers that do not have a TPM version 1.2 or later, you can still use BitLocker to encrypt the Windows operating system drive. However, this implementation will require the user to insert a USB startup key to start the computer or resume from hibernation. Starting with Windows 8, you can use an operating system volume password to protect the operating system volume on a computer without TPM.

About

ThreatLocker is a Zero Trust Platform that prevents cyber threats by blocking unknown applications, enforcing least privilege, and controlling what can run across your environment. Using Allowlisting, Ringfencing, Network Control, and more, ThreatLocker stops ransomware, zero-day attacks, and unauthorized activity before execution, rather than relying on detection after the fact. Built for modern IT and cybersecurity teams, the platform delivers centralized visibility and policy management across endpoints, users, and applications. ThreatLocker reduces attack surface, limits lateral movement, and supports compliance with detailed audit logs. With fast deployment, a large built-in application library, and streamlined approvals, organizations can strengthen security while minimizing operational overhead and maintaining business continuity.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • BitLocker is easy to use and I'm assuming that it is securing my laptop from unwanted log ins. So far I have not lost track of my computer but if I do I feel that someone won't be able to access my file.

Cons

  • I don't like the fact that it times out on the reboot. If I reboot my computer and walk away for too long I have to power it back up.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Great for the protection it offers and provides great visibility and insight into what is permitted in our environment. Highly recommend for protecting your environment with multiple tools at your disposal.
  • - Ease of use - Great support. Never waiting more than a few minutes for live support - Great feature - Active development. Regular feature updates - Much better alternative to App Locker
  • ThreatLocker takes an effective zero trust approach to application and network access. Onboarding customers is very straight-forward thanks to learning mode, and approving items that were incorrectly denied access is very straight-forward. The Cyber Hero support team are very attentive in getting any issues resolved quickly.
  • Vendor Support is the best in the business! Features that it provides are incredibly easy to use and effective. Application Control is something all Cyber Security teams need to have in their Security Stacks and Provides so much control over what applications are allow into your environment Their EDR is incredibly Lightweight in comparison to some of its competitors.
  • We love the support team at ThreatLocker. They are concise and geared with answers to every question imaginable.
  • ThreatLocker is a very reliable product that our company has been using for quite some time. It has successfully caught numerous threats and prevented us from falling victim to various cyber attacks.
  • ThreatLocker impresses with its intuitive interface, catering well to both agents and end users alike. Deploying the solution across our environment was straightforward, ensuring security for our endpoints and servers. The product excels in providing robust security features and comprehensive control, making it a standout choice for implementing a zero-trust model. Support and account management are exemplary, consistently exceeding industry standards.
  • ThreatLocker is a beautiful product, the greatest ever seen. I am in awe of what they have managed to do with their product.
  • Does an extremely good job of preventing problematic applications from either taking over or accessing information they shouldn't. Ringfencing prevents applications that have no need for lateral movement from doing so. Adopting a zero-trust methodology fixes a major security flaw in that it prevents problems before they start, for the minor inconvenience of getting unknown things approved first. Automated privilege escalation is one of the best features; if a user is installing an app that requires admin privileges, you can approve automatic escalation for a period of time for that installer and no credentials are needed to be passed to the user.
  • The ease of use on implementation, and troubleshooting. Have more control over the environment without requiring a Team dedicated to reviewing logs and taking action.
