Block Everything. Only Allow What’s Safe: How ThreatLocker’s Allowlisting Protects Your Business

May 6, 2025

Traditional antivirus tools try to catch threats after they’ve already infiltrated your network. But what if you could stop ransomware, malware, and unknown applications before they ever execute?

Welcome to the future of endpoint protection: Application Allowlisting. Powered by ThreatLocker, this zero trust tool changes the game for businesses that can’t afford downtime, data breaches, or regulatory penalties.

At Cyber Solutions, we use ThreatLocker’s Application Allowlisting to protect our clients across industries including water authorities, manufacturers, financial firms, and healthcare practices.

What Is Application Allowlisting?

Instead of trying to identify and block malicious software after it starts running, application allowlisting flips the script: nothing runs unless it’s explicitly approved.

Think of it as a digital bouncer for your network. Only known, trusted programs are allowed in. Everything else is denied by default, whether it's a new piece of malware, a rogue installer, or a zero-day attack.

Why This Matters for Your Business

  • Stops ransomware at the source: Prevent malicious executables from ever launching
  • Mitigates insider threats: Employees can’t run unauthorized or risky software
  • Eliminates shadow IT: No more unsanctioned tools compromising your environment
  • Reduces your attack surface: Fewer open doors for threat actors to exploit

When paired with ThreatLocker’s additional controls like Ringfencing and storage protection, allowlisting becomes part of a hardened, layered defense strategy.

Set It and Forget It? Not Quite. But We Handle It for You

While allowlisting is powerful, it can seem overwhelming to manage without the right tools and team. That’s where we come in. Cyber Solutions configures and maintains your allowlisting policies, handles approvals, and monitors application behavior so you don’t have to.

Already using antivirus or EDR? Great. Application allowlisting complements those tools, forming a full-stack endpoint defense strategy.
