A Conversation with Rob Allen from ThreatLocker

In this conversation, I speak with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker.

We talk about:

ThreatLocker’s Unique Zero Trust Approach to Cybersecurity:
How ThreatLocker’s "deny by default, permit by exception" methodology, along with automated application learning and built-in definitions for over 4,000 applications, simplifies allowlisting and enhances endpoint security.

Innovations in ThreatLocker’s Control Features:
How ThreatLocker’s ringfencing prevents unauthorized application interactions and data access, and dynamic firewalls mitigate risks like lateral movement and ransomware attacks through endpoint-level network segmentation.

Recent Developments and Cloud Expansion:
How ThreatLocker Detect and Cloud Detect provide advanced detection capabilities for endpoint and cloud environments, including Office 365, enabling anomaly detection, centralized alerts, and proactive threat management.

And more.

Erkang Zheng of JupiterOne | SPONSORED INTERVIEW SERIES

Erkang Zheng of JupiterOne | SPONSORED INTERVIEW SERIES

In this standalone episode we’re doing a sponsored interview with Erkang Zheng of Jupiter One. So JupiterOne is a special company to me. I just built a vuln management program at Robinhood based around them, and I believe so much in their vision that I’m looking to actually become an advisor. I mention this because when I fanboy for something, like Apple, or whoever, I want you to know that I’m fanboying and/or have a relationship with them. Or that I want to. The interview here talks mostly about concepts, however, and not so much specific features. But I just wanted to mention my orientation to the company prior to starting. I’m speaking with Erkang Zheng who is the founder and CEO of the company, and as you can hear we have a similar take on many of the problems currently in security. So with that, here’s Erkang Zheng. — Start a JupiterOne Account for FreeBecome a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Kuffer of Nucleus Security | SPONSORED INTERVIEW SERIES

In this standalone episode we’re doing a sponsored interview with Scott Kuffer, co-founder and COO of Nucleus Security. I was already excited by this vendor just based on the research I did to allow them to be a sponsor, but the conversation with them really made me think they’re approaching the vulnerability management problem the right way. Namely, by tackling a lot of the non-technical problems using technical solutions rather than obsessing over vuln prioritization. If you are in the VM space or are about to be in it, you will love this conversation. And with that, here’s Scott Kuffer with Nucleus Security.Become a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
