Enhance Security with ThreatLocker Elevation Control

May 28, 2025

Admin rights are one of the most abused and dangerous attack vectors in any IT environment. Yet too many businesses still hand them out permanently to users, techs, and software opening the door for ransomware, privilege escalation, and insider threats.

ThreatLocker’s Elevation Control changes that.

At Cyber Solutions, we help businesses and MSP partners lock down privilege access without slowing down productivity. Elevation Control lets you give just-in-time admin access only when it’s needed and never longer than it should be.

What Is ThreatLocker Elevation Control?

Elevation Control gives users temporary, auditable admin rights to perform approved tasks. Instead of assigning local admin to every user “just in case,” you can let them elevate only when required with logging, tracking, and automated expiration.

This drastically reduces your risk without creating constant help desk tickets.

Why This Feature Is Critical for Security

  • Stops ransomware from running with elevated privileges
  • Prevents lateral movement and privilege escalation
  • Avoids the risk of unmanaged local admins
  • Protects software installations from being hijacked
  • Supports compliance with NIST, CMMC, HIPAA, and FTC Safeguards

Attackers rely on admin rights to disable antivirus, install malware, or exfiltrate data. Without those privileges, their playbook falls apart.

Give Admin Access Without Giving Away Control

With Elevation Control, users can:

  • Install approved applications
  • Run IT tools without full-time admin rights
  • Submit elevation requests for one-time tasks
  • Trigger elevated sessions only during approved timeframes

Every action is logged. Every approval is tracked. You stay in control and users stay productive.

We Handle the Setup, Policies, and Requests

At Cyber Solutions, we manage ThreatLocker policies, approve elevation rules, and provide monitoring. You don’t need to re-architect your network or train your team on new tools. We do it for you.

Stop Threats Before They Gain Control

If your users or clients have admin rights they don’t absolutely need, you’re giving attackers a shortcut to take over your systems.

ThreatLocker Elevation Control helps you shut that down without creating roadblocks for your team.

Let’s secure your access control strategy.
