ThreatLocker’s Rob Allen talks zero trust as a journey

Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, discussed the challenges agencies face in advancing zero trust strategies and combating cyber threats. He emphasized that zero trust is not a product but a journey requiring practical solutions. The perceived complexity of cybersecurity solutions is a significant barrier, along with fears that zero trust methodologies will hinder operations. ThreatLocker addresses this by allowing normal operations within defined boundaries, while blocking unauthorized activities. Allen highlighted their “deny by default” approach, which focuses on blocking unknown threats without needing to know every new threat.
