ThreatLocker Expands Zero Trust Platform to Secure Cloud and Network Access
ThreatLocker Enhances Zero Trust Security with New Cloud and Network Access Solutions
On March 5, 2026, ThreatLocker, a leader in Zero Trust cybersecurity, announced the expansion of its platform to include Zero Trust network and cloud access solutions. This development aims to bolster defenses against credential-based cyberattacks by enforcing device-based verification for cloud services and network connections.
Addressing Credential Theft with Device Verification
Credential theft remains a prevalent cause of data breaches, with attackers often exploiting stolen credentials to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. Traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods have proven insufficient, as cybercriminals have developed sophisticated phishing techniques to bypass these defenses. ThreatLocker's new solutions mitigate this risk by requiring three critical components for access:
- Valid user credentials
- An approved device
- Connection through a secure, ThreatLocker-managed broker
If any of these elements are missing, access is denied, significantly reducing the likelihood of unauthorized entry, even if credentials are compromised. This approach effectively neutralizes the impact of phishing attacks that target user credentials.
Key Features of ThreatLocker's Zero Trust Network and Cloud Access
The newly introduced solutions offer several capabilities designed to enhance security and streamline deployment:
- Secure Access to Cloud Services and Networks: Employees can securely connect to cloud platforms such as Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Asana, Google Workspace, and GitHub using validated computers and mobile devices.
- Rapid Deployment: Implementations can be completed in as little as thirty minutes, minimizing disruption to business operations.
- Granular Control for Administrators: Security administrators have detailed control over endpoint access to company resources, allowing for precise management of permissions.
- Secure Remote Desktop Connections: The solution enables secure connections to remote desktops without the need for open ports, reducing potential attack vectors.
- Reduction of Alert Fatigue: By preventing breaches before they occur, the system lessens dependence on endpoint detection systems that trigger alerts post-infiltration.
- Enforcement of Group Policies: Security teams can implement group policies to block access to malicious or inappropriate websites, enhancing overall security posture.
- Compliance Support: The solution offers support for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), ensuring secure and compliant network connectivity.
A Unified Zero Trust Platform
With the addition of network and cloud access controls, ThreatLocker now provides a comprehensive Zero Trust platform that secures applications, endpoints, networks, storage, and Software as a Service (SaaS) environments. This unified approach simplifies the implementation of Zero Trust principles across an organization's entire digital infrastructure.
ThreatLocker CEO and Co-Founder Danny Jenkins emphasized the transformative nature of this solution, stating, "Our transformative solution gives organizations confidence that their systems are secure even if a credential is stolen." He further explained that access now requires valid credentials, an approved device, and connection through a secure, ThreatLocker-managed broker, drastically reducing the impact of phishing attacks.
By extending Zero Trust enforcement to cloud services and company networks, ThreatLocker ensures that devices are validated through a secure broker before connecting to platforms such as Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Asana, Google Workspace, and GitHub. Even if a user is successfully phished, attackers cannot access resources unless they have possession of the user’s trusted device.
ThreatLocker COO and Co-Founder Sami Jenkins highlighted the significance of this development, stating, "Zero Trust network and cloud access completes the vision of a unified Zero Trust Platform. ThreatLocker secures an organization's entire digital footprint with a single tool, easing the burden on security teams and significantly reducing alert fatigue."
