ThreatLocker’s Rob Allen on the dual impact of AI

Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, discussed the dual impact of AI on cybersecurity, highlighting its role as both a threat accelerant and a tool for defenders. ThreatLocker’s “deny by default” approach effectively blocks malware without requiring detection. Allen emphasized the importance of starting with the first step toward achieving a zero-trust architecture, describing it as a journey rather than a destination. He reassured that zero trust is not overly complex and can be implemented without fear, setting guardrails to prevent unauthorized actions.
