Application Whitelisting is the primary method you will use within ThreatLocker in order to allow approved applications to run on a system. ThreatLocker's premised on Zero Trust, so by default everything is denied except what has been explicitly allowed. In this case, Application Whitelisting refers to the applications that may be installed and run on an endpoint.
