Most protection waits to see whether a program misbehaves, by which point it has already started. This one stops it at the door with a blunter question. Software that was never cleared for this machine simply will not run, so there is nothing to tidy afterwards, because nothing happened.
Nobody hands you an empty deny list and wishes you well. The agent spends a learning spell noting what your staff genuinely open: the practice system, the accounts package, the design tools, the odd utility somebody has leaned on for a decade. That becomes the cleared list, assembled out of your firm instead of out of a template.
Updates are then the real labour. Suppliers ship new builds constantly, and a control like this will lock your front desk out of its own booking system on a Tuesday morning if nobody is following them. ThreatLocker follows the update trails; our operators work whatever is left over.
Frankly, for a fortnight it announces itself. Somebody will try to open a thing and be refused, and they need a route to ask about it. That route reaches an operator, and the answer comes back fast enough that people stop taking it personally.
Once settled it disappears, which is the whole point. Ringfencing then handles the second half of the job, capping what a cleared program may reach: which other programs it may launch, which folders it may open, and which destinations it may dial out to.
Prices below arrive straight out of billing. Whatever gets patched in waits on the list while you read on.
Detection asks whether a program is misbehaving, which means it already started. This asks a cruder question at the door. Was this thing ever cleared for this machine. If not, it never runs, and there is no mess to mop up because nothing occurred.
