In this episode, Richard talks to Ben Jenkins, Senior Solutions Engineer at ThreatLocker. ThreatLocker is an application whitelisting, ring-fencing and data storage control platform that protects businesses from malicious and misuse software.
They talk about what ThreatLocker offers MSPs, what zero trust means, and how to deploy the software for better cybersecurity. Ben explains what elevation control and data storage control are, and the tools ThreatLocker integrates with.
Richard and Ben discuss why MSPs shouldn’t rely solely on antivirus and how antivirus whitelisting works as well as usability vs security. They look at how ThreatLocker is licenced, the subscription options, partner programmes and why they don’t work with SMBs.
Plus, Ben shares the resources he uses to stay up to date with the current situation in cybersecurity and the broader IT industry, and who inspires him in business and life.
