Let’s discuss a powerful tool in the fight against ransomware: ThreatLocker.
What is ThreatLocker?
ThreatLocker is an application whitelisting platform designed to provide robust protection against ransomware and other cyber threats. Simply put, if an application isn’t on the approved whitelist, it won’t run. This approach makes ThreatLocker one of the best defenses against ransomware.
Here’s how it works: If someone attempts to deploy a ransomware attack or other malicious software on your system, ThreatLocker denies it by default. You’ll then have the opportunity to vet the application. If it’s safe, you can allow it; if it’s not, it remains blocked.
Real-World Effectiveness
A compelling example of ThreatLocker’s effectiveness comes from an attack that occurred a couple of years ago. A prominent cyberattack targeted Managed Service Providers (MSPs) by exploiting their client access portals to distribute ransomware to clients. The outcome? According to reports, the only companies that remained unaffected were those using ThreatLocker. That kind of proven protection makes it a must-have in our book.
Additional Features and Benefits
ThreatLocker also offers a robust Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system, backed by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). This team actively monitors threats, takes action to neutralize them, and notifies you of any significant issues. If a threat is severe enough, they can terminate the connection to prevent further damage.
Another standout feature is their excellent customer support. While using ThreatLocker effectively requires a learning curve, their support team is highly responsive and helpful, making the experience worthwhile.
Why Should You Care?
Ransomware is an ever-present threat, and every business should take it seriously. ThreatLocker provides an effective solution to safeguard your systems and data, giving you peace of mind.
