ThreatLocker Detect — Advanced EDR Solution for Cybersecurit

What is ThreatLocker® Detect?

ThreatLocker® Detect is a policy-based Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solution. It is part of the ThreatLocker Endpoint Protection platform and monitors for anomalous activity or indicators of compromise (IoCs). When a threat is detected, the system automatically sends alerts and takes appropriate actions.

ThreatLocker Detect leverages telemetry data from other ThreatLocker modules and Windows event logs.
This provides deep security analytics within your organization, helping to detect and neutralize potential cyberattacks.

Why Choose ThreatLocker® Detect?

ThreatLocker Detect offers significant advantages over other EDR solutions in detecting and responding to potential threats. Its advanced algorithms identify known malicious activities and cover a broader range of events, including unknown attacks.
Automated actions in Detect allow you to enforce policies, disconnect devices from the network, provide administrators with critical information, or activate Lockdown mode.In Lockdown mode, process execution, network access, and storage access are blocked—providing the highest level of protection.
Detect can also identify remote access tools, suspicious PowerShell activity, unusual RDP traffic, or repeated failed login attempts.It also logs attempts to delete event logs or evade Windows Defender malware detection.
This proactive approach enables organizations to detect threats quickly and respond before significant damage occurs.

How Does ThreatLocker Detect Work?

ThreatLocker Detect continuously monitors the behavior of trusted and untrusted applications on all devices with the ThreatLocker agent installed.
IT professionals can create custom rules and decision policies without relying on AI or closed algorithms.

These policies can include a set of conditions or responses to specific behaviors that indicate a potential security breach.

When conditions are met, ThreatLocker Detect automatically responds according to the defined rules.
The agent continuously evaluates events in real time—even without an internet connection.
This ensures millisecond-level response times and allows full control over system priorities and actions.

This level of automation guarantees that all incident response actions align with your organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy.

Anomaly Detection in Microsoft 365

ThreatLocker Detect identifies suspicious or unwanted activity in your Microsoft 365 cloud environment that may indicate a cyberattack.
Detect policies for the cloud analyze Microsoft 365 logs and Microsoft Graph API data, alerting administrators to potential signs of compromise.

Policies can be customized to your needs using any fields from Microsoft 365 logs or the Graph API.

In conjunction with Microsoft Entra P2, ThreatLocker Detect tracks:
● Users with compromised credentials
If credentials are leaked, an elevated risk level is triggered.
● Logins from anonymous IP addresses
Considered risky if a user logs in from an unidentified IP without proper identification.
● Logins from geographically impossible locations
For example, alerts are triggered if logins occur from different continents within a short timeframe.
● Logins from infected devices
If a user logs in from a device known to have malware, it is considered a high risk.

Intuitive Analytics with ThreatLocker Detect Dashboard

The ThreatLocker Detect Dashboard transforms incident and alert data from your environment into easy-to-understand visuals — bar charts, line graphs, and pie charts.
With a thoughtfully designed interface, you instantly gain insights complete with prompts for deeper analysis and swift action.
All response actions are logged along with the reasons for their execution.

With the Detect Dashboard, you gain access to key information:- The most critical alerts- Impacted assets- Incidents that have been resolved- False positives- Affected device or user groups- Cyber Hero recommendations with options for automated remediation
The dashboard also serves as an audit tool:
You can review all past incidents, how responses were handled, and why — promoting knowledge continuity, improving future cybersecurity decisions, and ensuring strategic alignment in incident response.

Threat Detection and Alerting

Using industry-standard indicators of compromise, ThreatLocker Detect identifies anomalies and alerts IT professionals about potential attacks on the organization.Notifications are sent accordingto configured triggers and alerting methods.

Targeted Response

You can assign policies to activate or deactivate modules such as Application Control, Storage Control, or Network Control in response to specific events or behavioral anomalies.

Flexible Trigger Thresholds

Policies can be tailored to risk levels—for example, to reduce false positives or ignore minor deviations without compromising security.

Leverages Community Knowledge

Administrators can share their own Detect policies or receive vetted security rules from other experts and the ThreatLocker team.

Is a Separate Antivirus Required for ThreatLocker Detect?
No, a separate antivirus is not required. ThreatLocker Detect works seamlessly alongside Windows Defender.
Does ThreatLocker Have Its Own Antivirus?
ThreatLocker Detect is not a traditional antivirus but leverages a large database of Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and a list of known malicious files that are detected during initial baseline analysis.
This enables it to block threats already present on the device.
Are Other ThreatLocker Modules Required for Detect to Work?
Not necessarily, but Detect becomes more powerful when combined with Zero Trust modules.
It leverages telemetry from other modules to identify suspicious activity and enable rapid responses, such as policy blocking or allowing.
Is an MDR Service Required to Use Detect?
No. ThreatLocker Detect is fully functional without an MDR service.
However, MDR provides 24/7 monitoring and threat response.
Can Exceptions Be Created to Avoid Excessive Alerts?
Yes. ThreatLocker Detect allows you to create detailed exceptions, even for individual devices, to reduce false positives.
How Is ThreatLocker’s IoC List Better Than Others (e.g., CrowdStrike)?
ThreatLocker minimizes reliance on IoCs.
Thanks to the Zero Trust model, threats are proactively blocked even before detection, providing higher effectiveness.
Can We Create Custom Policies or Are We Limited to Built-In Ones?
Yes, ThreatLocker Community allows you to create, save, and publish your own policies, as well as subscribe to libraries from other users.
Is Integration with SIEM Supported?
Yes, via API.
