Help CenterOverview
ThreatLocker protects data transmitted between ThreatLocker Agents, the ThreatLocker Portal, and supported integrations using industry-standard encryption technologies. Secure connections help ensure that data remains protected while it is transmitted.
Secure Communications
ThreatLocker uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish secure, encrypted communications.
Before a connection is established, the identity of the ThreatLocker service is verified using trusted digital certificates. Once the connection has been authenticated, TLS encrypts all data exchanged between the client and the service.
Certificate Validation
ThreatLocker uses X.509 digital certificates (commonly referred to as SSL certificates) to authenticate its services. These certificates are validated through trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs), helping ensure clients are communicating with legitimate ThreatLocker services before encrypted communication begins.
Why This Matters
Using TLS and trusted digital certificates helps:
- Protect data from interception while it is in transit.
- Verify that clients are communicating with legitimate ThreatLocker services.
- Help maintain the confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged between ThreatLocker components.
Summary
ThreatLocker helps protect data in transit by:
- Encrypting communications using Transport Layer Security (TLS)
- Authenticating services using trusted digital certificates
- Validating certificates through trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs)
- Helping protect data from interception and tampering while it is transmitted
