ThreatLocker has a simple goal. The security business wants every company in existence to adopt a zero-trust model to its IT. With the company just six years old, it’s well on its way to achieving that goal.

Zero-trust is a simple concept in cybersecurity. Nothing is trusted automatically and everything must be verified. It’s simple but far from easy to apply and that’s why it took quite some time to develop.
