Dept. 02 / What Runs

The shortest question in security: is this on the list?

One line at this counter, and it moves the needle further than anything else in the shop. Rather than guess whether a program intends harm, the machine checks whether a human approved it. Listed software starts. The rest waits on the sidewalk, including whatever gets invented a week from Tuesday.

Why a list beats a hunch

Detection asks a difficult question and gets it right most of the time. Allowlisting asks an easy one and gets it right always. Nothing here falls behind a signature, nothing here gets talked round, and no fresh trick is handed a free swing, because a program nobody approved never reaches the starting line.

It also carries a name for being irritating, and that name was mostly earned by people who rolled it out carelessly. Done properly, it opens with a stretch of learning what your floor genuinely runs, and the door shuts only once the list resembles your work instead of a guess at it.

Nothing to fall behind, and no clever new trick handed a free swing at your floor.

Who answers when it says no

At some point in month one, somebody will need a program the list does not carry, at an hour when nobody in the building wants a conversation about software policy. That request goes to our own desk rather than to whoever in your office was handed the console. Our engineers look at what was asked for, rule on it, and carry on.

We would sooner fit this to the machines carrying money and records than to everything at once. The bookkeeping desk, the front counter, the box the whole shop leans on. Those are the places where a standing answer of no repays the small friction it costs.

Spec cards and prices

Every figure below is pulled live out of billing while the page opens, which means the number printed is the number a card would see. Whatever you add rests on the order pad, and it stays there afterwards.

Approved Software Only

ThreatLocker, saying no to everything nobody approved

Most protection asks whether a program looks wrong. This asks something shorter: is it listed. Software you approved starts. Everything else gets turned back at the door, the thing with no name yet included. It is the plainest control in the shop and the one that shifts the most.

  • A learning stretch runs first, so the list gets built from what your people genuinely use.
  • Updates to listed software are followed, so a version bump does not halt anybody.
  • Requests to permit something land with our engineers rather than in your lap at lunchtime.

What comes with these lines

Everything below is part of the monthly price. None of it is a separate quote later on.

  • ThreatLocker licensing covering each endpoint on the line.
  • The learning stretch, and the policy that gets built out of what it learns.
  • Approval requests answered at our desk, the awkward hours included.
  • Ringfencing rules, so listed software cannot wander further than it ought to.
Where this counter ends

What these lines do not do

Allowlisting is the strongest control we sell and it still has edges. These are the ones worth knowing before you buy it.

  • Approved software can still be misused. A listed program driven badly by a human is permitted, by definition. Ringfencing shrinks what listed software may touch, and shrinking is not the same word as removing.
  • There is a settling-in stretch. Learning eats real calendar, and the first weeks after the door shuts generate requests. Anybody promising a silent rollout finished by Friday is selling the pamphlet and not the product.
  • It does not watch behavior. This line rules on whether a thing may run. It does not investigate, join up records, or explain anything afterwards. That work lives at the Watch Desk, and the pair are built to be bought together.
  • Somebody must be able to decide. The requests are ours to work, but somebody at your end has to be reachable for the genuinely strange ones. With nobody reachable, work halts, and the fault there belongs to the arrangement rather than to either of us.
  • It covers endpoints you enroll. A machine outside the list sits outside the control entirely. Personal laptops nobody registers are not folded in as a favor.
