ThreatLocker® Unveils New Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Service with the World

Global cybersecurity leader extends platform utility beyond default deny with new MDR services

Orlando, FL, April 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ThreatLocker®, a pioneer in least privilege endpoint protection technologies, announced the launch of their MDR service with the Cyber Hero Team at Zero Trust World 2024.

“I’m elated about the ThreatLocker® Cyber Hero managed detection and response service,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO & Co-Founder of ThreatLocker®.

“Not only will this provide customers with a faster response when they don’t have 24-hour operation centers, but it also means that we are improving our product in a way that allows us to be responsible for so many customers and the management of their environments.”

ThreatLocker® understands the importance of preemptively blocking cybersecurity threats with a default deny baseline. Adding detection and response capabilities allows customers to stay secure while alerting them of suspicious or potentially malicious activity happening in their environment.

Products including Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, and Network Control in the ThreatLocker® Endpoint Protection Platform block attempted bad actions on a device, and ThreatLocker® Detect (formerly known as ThreatLocker® Ops) will alert organizations of said attempts. The MDR service is made possible by the near-instant response of the ThreatLocker® Cyber Hero Team when they directly notify a customer of a malicious attempt and ensure the security of their infrastructure.

In addition to providing a prompt notification via the Cyber Hero Support Team, ThreatLocker® Detect policies can be curated to completely isolate a machine from the rest of the environment or go as far as implementing an advanced lockdown to stop all software and network traffic from running.

In a live demonstration at Zero Trust World 2024, ThreatLocker® showcased the response speed of the Cyber Hero Team in locking down a machine after an attacker connected to a remote server, tried to run IP Scanning tools, and attempted to disable security tools.

The attacker was challenged with a QR code. When they didn’t respond and continued taking additional bad actions, such as attempting to disable ThreatLocker® service, the attacker’s attempts were thwarted with ThreatLocker® default deny, and the machine was locked down. The Cyber Heroes responded within a minute during the live presentation.

The new additions by ThreatLocker® satisfy cyber insurance regulations on implementing Zero Trust MDR strategies to prevent modern-day attacks.

ThreatLocker® will roll out its new products to new and existing partners. It currently protects over one million endpoints globally.

Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri Criticizes Unqualified Religious Scholars for Spreading Social Anarchy

Lahore, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, the founder of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, addressed a large gathering at the Itikaf City, emphasizing the harm unqualified religious scholars are causing to society. He highlighted the issue of individuals with half-baked religious knowledge proclaiming themselves as scholars and issuing unfounded religious decrees, leading to social anarchy. During his speech, Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri called on the youth and students of religion to seek a true understanding of their faith that aligns with both the historical context and the demands of the modern world.

According to Minhaj-Ul-Quran International, Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, in his address to thousands of participants in Lahore, stressed the importance of education and experience in religious scholarship. He warned against the trend of individuals without formal religious education claiming religious authority, which misleads the youth and distorts the image of religion. Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri urged the community to question the credentials of anyone claiming religious expertise and to adhere to the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah.

Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri also drew parallels between the fields of religion and medicine to illustrate the absurdity of unqualified individuals attempting to interpret religious matters without proper education. He lamented the prevalence of such individuals in religious discourse and emphasized the need for competent religious guidance in today’s technically and scientifically advanced society.

The event also recognized the contributions of notable figures and members of Minhaj-ul-Quran International, with special invitations and acknowledgments extended to them. Among the attendees were former Advocate General Punjab Ahmad Owais, lawyer Azhar Siddique Advocate, and British social leader Adeel Chaudhry, highlighting the diverse support for Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri’s message.

Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri’s speech at the City of Spiritual Retreat—a place designed for both education and spiritual growth—underscored his commitment to protecting the faith and safety of believers from the intellectual and moral challenges of the modern era.
