Deploying ThreatLocker with N-Central

View in Browser

Note: For organizations deploying to a large amount of endpoints, ThreatLocker recommends using a staggered deployment approach. Organizations that deploy to a large number of endpoints at once may experience increased bandwidth usage as Windows Core and application definitions are downloaded to each endpoint. QOS can be used to limit bandwidth to corecdn.threatlocker.com and apps.threatlocker.com
