ThreatLocker announced ThreatLocker Elevation Control, a
Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that provides MSPs with the ability
to quickly add or remove administrative rights and easily control application
elevation for users, without interrupting application, device or system
performance.
ThreatLocker Elevation Control connects to its cloud-based Application Control Suite to add an extra
layer of security for MSP's by creating access policies for individuals on
specific applications. The addition of PAM combined with ThreatLocker's
application whitelisting and Ringfencing solutions enable
MSPs to control what applications can run, who can access them and how they
interact in an organization's environment.
"ThreatLocker Elevation Control solves a critical need for Managed Service
Providers to remove the complexity of providing Privileged Access Management
(PAM) for small-to-medium-sized-businesses," said Danny Jenkins, chief
executive officer at ThreatLocker. "We're making enterprise-grade security
available to help MSPs to put the right controls in place to stop ransomware
attacks, malware and cyber breaches."
Key Capabilities of ThreatLocker Elevation Control Include:
- Complete Visibility of Administrative Rights: Provides MSPs with the ability to approve or deny
individual access to specific applications within an organization, even if
users are not local administrators.
- Streamlined Permission Requests: Users can request permission to elevate applications
and attach files and notes to support their requests.
- Varied Levels of Elevation: Enables MSPs to set durations for how long users
are allowed access to specific applications, by granting either temporary
or permanent access.
- Secure Application Integration: In combination with ThreatLocker Ringfencing, ensures that once applications are elevated, users
cannot jump to infiltrate connected applications within the network.
"The threat landscape for our customers rapidly evolved during the pandemic
with many employees no longer working behind the corporate firewall," says Doug
Lowenthal, CEO, TruTechnology. "In turn, we had to adjust our security approach
with the help of ThreatLocker to adopt Zero Trust, which allows us to define what can run in our customers'
environments and inherently blocks everything else."
"After reviewing dozens of
security solutions, we chose ThreatLocker, which takes Zero Trust a step
further with added Ringfencing capabilities, which greatly minimize risk by limiting the
permissions and local admin rights of the systems we manage. With the
ThreatLocker team behind us, we've been able to improve our customers'
cybersecurity posture at a significantly lower cost. We're also mitigating the
potential risk of our own management tools being leveraged in a malicious way
by bad actors through its Ringfencing technology. For these reasons, we have
deployed ThreatLocker across all machines, workstations and servers."
