THREATLOCKER SALES, SETUP AND SUPPORT

ThreatLocker is a zero-trust endpoint platform. Its core feature, application allowlisting, blocks any program that hasn’t been approved, so ransomware and unknown tools simply can’t run. Bluetek deploys and manages ThreatLocker for Central PA businesses that want the strongest practical protection.

What it does

Instead of trying to recognize bad software, ThreatLocker only allows known good software. Ringfencing limits what approved apps can touch, so a Word macro can’t launch PowerShell or reach the internet. Storage control restricts USB drives and file shares, and elevation control lets users run approved installers without admin rights.

Typical small-business use

Firms handling sensitive data, defense contractors working toward CMMC and businesses hit by ransomware before are the most common ThreatLocker users. It’s also popular with medical and accounting offices.

Problems we fix

The hard part is the learning period. ThreatLocker records what software you use, then we build policies that allow it. We handle approval requests from staff, usually within minutes during business hours, and tune policies so normal work isn’t interrupted.

Licensing quirks

ThreatLocker is licensed per endpoint, with modules like ringfencing, elevation, storage control, network control and detect priced as bundles. It’s sold through MSPs. We pick the modules that match your risk and compliance needs and keep counts current.

Getting through the first month

We deploy in learning mode, review the inventory with you, remove software nobody needs, then move to secure mode in stages. Staff get a simple request button when something new is needed.

Compliance value

Application allowlisting maps directly to CMMC, NIST 800-171 and CIS controls, and insurers increasingly recognize it.

How it fits our stack

ThreatLocker pairs with Huntress EDR, DNS filtering and email security. Allowlisting stops most attacks outright, and EDR watches for anything that slips through.

Software updates without headaches

ThreatLocker includes built-in definitions for common applications, so routine updates to browsers, Office and PDF tools keep working without new approvals. We monitor for updates that need attention and approve them before staff notice.

Admin rights without risk

Elevation control lets a user run a specific approved installer or tool as admin without having a permanent admin account. That removes one of the biggest ransomware risks without slowing the people who need occasional installs.

Network control

ThreatLocker’s network control can close ports on each computer and open them only for approved devices or users, which limits how far an attacker can move if one machine is compromised.
