If it isn't approved, it doesn't run
How ThreatLocker Protects Your Endpoints
Traditional antivirus tries to spot the bad and let everything else through – which is why new ransomware slips past it every day. Application whitelisting flips the model: everything is blocked unless it’s explicitly approved. With ThreatLocker, managed by EBS, only the software your business actually needs can run, and everything else – including ransomware, unwanted tools and rogue scripts – is stopped before it starts.

Allowlisting
Application Allowlisting
Only approved applications are permitted to run. Everything else is denied by default – the single most effective control against ransomware and unknown executables.
Ringfencing
Ringfencing™
Even trusted applications can be weaponised. Ringfencing limits what approved software is allowed to do – which files, other apps, the registry and the internet it can touch – to contain attacks that abuse legitimate tools.
Storage Control
Storage Control
Granular control over USB drives, external storage and network shares. Stop data walking out of the door and block malware that spreads via removable media.
Elevation Control
Elevation Control
Remove local admin rights without slowing people down. Users get temporary, approved elevation for specific applications only – closing off a favourite route for attackers.
Managed for You
Fully Managed & Monitored
EBS handles deployment, policy tuning and the ongoing stream of approval requests, so whitelisting protects you from day one without becoming a burden on your team.
Want to see what's really running on your network? Let's talk.
Start with an Application Audit
Before we enforce anything, ThreatLocker runs in learning mode to build a complete picture of the applications already in use across your business. We turn that into a tailored allowlist, so protection goes live without breaking the tools your staff rely on.
Zero Trust, Without the Headache
Zero Trust has a reputation for getting in the way. Done properly it doesn’t. EBS manages the policies, approvals and day-to-day requests for you – so staff get quick decisions when they need new software, and you get airtight control without the admin burden.
Application Whitelisting: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about locking down endpoints with ThreatLocker application whitelisting.
What is application whitelisting?
Application whitelisting (also called allowlisting) is a security approach where only pre-approved software is allowed to run on your devices. Anything not on the list is blocked by default, which stops ransomware and unauthorised programs before they can execute. EBS delivers this using ThreatLocker.
Will it stop my staff installing the tools they need?
No – it puts you in control of them. When someone needs new software, the request comes to us and is usually approved in minutes. Your team keeps working; you avoid unknown or risky software running unchecked.
How is this different from antivirus?
Antivirus tries to identify and block known-bad software, so brand-new threats can slip through. Whitelisting blocks everything by default and only allows what’s approved, so even never-seen-before ransomware is stopped. The two complement each other.
Is it disruptive to roll out?
Not when it’s done properly. ThreatLocker first learns what you already run, so we can build an accurate allowlist before enforcement begins. EBS manages the rollout in stages to avoid interrupting your business.
