What is ThreatLocker?
For IT Professionals to stop ransomware and other cyberattacks, you need to do more than just hunt for threats. ThreatLocker helps you reduce your surface areas of attack with Zero Trust policy-driven endpoint security solutions. Now you can change the paradigm from only blocking known threats, to blocking everything that you have not explicitly allowed. ThreatLocker Application Allowlisting is the gold standard when it comes to blocking ransomware, viruses, and other software-based threats. ThreatLocker allows organizations to control what software runs on their endpoints and what that software is permitted to do or access. Malware and ransomware are just software, so if it's not explicitly trusted and permitted to run, it can't do the damage it was designed to do. This also stops the mis-use of trusted software, blocking exploits of trusted software and unknown vulnerabilities. By using ThreatLocker Zero Trust policy driven controls, organizations greatly reduce their exposure for cyberattacks. Discover today the ThreatLocker suite of Zero Trust endpoint security solutions: Allowlisting, Ringfencing, Elevation Control, Storage Control, Network Control, Unified Audit, ThreatLocker Detect, O365 Cloud Control, and more.

Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
ThreatLocker is a application whitelisting platform with overwhelmingly positive user feedback. Users consistently praise its core security model—blocking unknown software by default—and report it effectively prevents ransomware and malware infections. The Zero Trust approach is accessible to businesses of all sizes, and customers value features like ring-fencing, elevation control, and USB data auditing. Support and onboarding experience receive repeated acclaim, with resellers and MSPs noting the vendor's responsiveness and partner focus.
The main drawback users identify is that ThreatLocker requires active ongoing management; it is not a set-and-forget solution. Administrators report spending a few hours per week to manage policies across their endpoints, though some note that ThreatLocker offers managed services (CyberHero support) to reduce this burden. One reviewer mentioned the interface takes time to learn, though most describe it as intuitive once familiar. Implementation can be more involved than expected, but users acknowledge the platform provides tools to streamline the process.

“I don't have to worry about malware or ransomware because…”
I don't have to worry about malware or ransomware because ThreatLocker is an application whitelisting software, which means all application/programs are in a default state of "deny all" unless it has been approved by a ThreatLocker policy or by the IT department.

“ThreatLocker is an invaluable tool and incredible company! Overall: From…”
ThreatLocker is an invaluable tool and incredible company! Overall: From my initial conversations with the team at ThreatLocker, to on-boarding, roll-out and ongoing support, it has been one of the most pleasant vendor experiences I have had in a really longtime. Pros: There are new threats coming out daily. ThreatLocker helps add an important layer of security and brings system one step closer to protection from these new threats. ZeroTrust is not a new concept but ThreatLocker made it accessible to all businesses, big or small. I also have to say that the team at ThreatLocker have been amazing to work with and I wish other vendors would be as partner support focused. Cons: Honestly there are not a ton of cons. The process to implement ZeroTrust can be a bit more involved than most realize, and ThreatLocker does have some of those challenges too. However the platform is designed in a way and has features to help streamline that process and user experience. Backed by amazing support!

“"This is how MSP's sleep at night" Overall: The product…”
"This is how MSP's sleep at night" Overall: The product training and onboarding is exceptional. ThreatLocker goes the extra mile to be sure you understand the product and are deploying it successfully. The software works. It will stop anything and everything that either isn't allowed to run or it doesn't recognize. Pros: There isn't anything about ThreatLocker I don't like. From the Ring Fencing to Allow Listing to Elevation control, it keeps users from doing things they shouldn't be while allowing what you need to run, run. I sleep at night knowing that some random software can't run on a client environment and cause an incident. Cons: Threatlocker is not a set it and forget it product. They can however use their internal CyberHero's to make it easier for you. It's just an extra cost.

“"ThreatLocker - Peace of Mind" Overall: ThreatLocker provides added protection…”
"ThreatLocker - Peace of Mind" Overall: ThreatLocker provides added protection in case a system is breached. It will stop the unknown software, and provide ring-fencing to make sure good software doesn't act across the network in ways it should not. I could not be happier with ThreatLocker. Pros: ThreatLocker does what it promises. It catalogs and manages your known software while blocking unknown software from running. It also assists with elevation and network ringfencing. Together, these provide a great level of protection for the environment in case you do get breached. Cons: It is not a set and forget, it takes active management. The time taken is reasonable, it just needs to be factored in. I probably spend 2 hours/week on managing ThreatLocker across nearly 400 endpoints. Reasons for Choosing ThreatLocker: Testimonials from other MSP's, along with the trial experience.

“"Threatlocker - Helping MSP's sleep at night" Overall: Application Whitelisting…”
"Threatlocker - Helping MSP's sleep at night" Overall: Application Whitelisting and Data Audit in one package - the 'deny or authorise' file copy to a USB drive is a silver bullet for firms concerned with sales staff leaving with their client list - this feature has given transparency on who is looking at what for many of our clients. The Whitelist means ransomware cannot run in a client network - couple this with Ringfencing and you have a very powerful data protection suite.
