This is an event recap from the expo floor with our friends at ThreatLocker 🙏
#ThreatLocker Unveils Configuration Defense & Achieves #FedRAMP Status at #BlackHat2025
#Zerotrust evolved from theory to practical business solution at Black Hat 2025, as Kieran Human from ThreatLocker revealed game-changing announcements that address real-world security challenges.
The standout:
Defense Against Configuration (#DAC)—a monitoring tool that solves a critical zero trust gap. Organizations invest heavily in security but often leave systems vulnerable through poor configuration management. DAC changes this by:
• Continuously monitoring configurations and alerting to potential issues
• Mapping findings to compliance frameworks including Essential 8
• Providing weekly executive reports to ensure oversight
• Preventing the "overly permissive rules" that compromise security
ThreatLocker's "denied by default, allowed by exception" approach fundamentally differs from traditional EDR solutions. With 10,000+ built-in application profiles and learning mode capabilities, deployment no longer means business disruption.
Major milestone:
FedRAMP certification opens government sector opportunities, answering strong customer demand from highly regulated environments that previously couldn't adopt their zero trust capabilities.
Real impact:
One customer reported preventing THREE breaches after implementing ThreatLocker's solution—proving that properly implemented zero trust delivers measurable security improvements.
The key insight? Security must enable business, not hinder it. ThreatLocker's least privilege implementation focuses on meeting business requirements with minimal necessary permissions—protecting assets without hampering productivity.

Simplifying #CyberSecurity Without Sacrificing Control
At #BlackHat2025, Danny Jenkins, CEO of #ThreatLocker, proves that effective cybersecurity doesn't have to be overly complex. The key? Security should be simple enough to implement quickly while still addressing evolving organizational needs.
Jenkins shares how ThreatLocker has moved beyond "magic" solutions to deliver tangible results—tools that block threats by default, simplify approvals, and make exceptions easy to manage. With over 54,000 organizations worldwide trusting their platform, they're showing that security doesn't have to slow business down.
A standout feature: ThreatLocker's Defense Against Configurations (#DAC) module performs 170 daily checks on every endpoint, aligning with #NIST and #FedRAMP frameworks. It doesn't just detect misconfigurations—it explains why they matter and how to fix them. Jenkins even admits it revealed gaps in ThreatLocker's own environment, fixed in minutes!
Plus, learn how their recent #FedRAMP authorization validates both product and company security maturity, benefiting federal agencies and commercial clients alike.

I am job hunting if anyone is looking for an #IT #engineer
I currently work in Mergers and Acquisitions as an IT specialist in the embroidery field, but I have experience with #Cisco #networking including their Firepower ASA and their switches. I am also an #MDM engineer and I am the team lead for SOP writing and development. #SSO experience with Okta. Admin experience with #Threatlocker.
I have operated in a variety of compliance frameworks including #CMMC #PCI and #FEDRAMP for the last 2 years. I've spent 3 years working medical field so I'm #HIPAA aware as well.
I would like to get back into a #datacenter job. I am comfortable with #travel and I'm comfortable with #parttime and #contract work if you have any recommendations.
I won't do defence companies though.
Always a pleasure spending time with Rob Allen and the whole ThreatLocker team - virtually or in person (better!!!) 😬
🎙️✨ Why Simplicity Might Be the Missing Ingredient in Your #ZeroTrust Strategy | An ITSPmagazine Brand Story with Rob Allen from ThreatLocker | #RSAC2025
At #RSAC Conference 2025, the ThreatLocker booth didn’t need flashing lights or gimmicks. Just a live PowerShell attack, a rubber ducky, and a crowd watching real protection in action. That’s how you cut through the noise.
In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli talk with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, about why Zero Trust doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective. Instead of piling on tools, Rob explains why proactive control, vendor consolidation, and human connection are the real differentiators.
🙌 Huge thanks to #ThreatLocker for sponsoring our RSA Conference 2025 coverage and supporting meaningful conversations like this one.
