Danny Jenkins provides insights into ThreatLocker's zero-trust framework and how it helps businesses implement the principle of least privilege. He explains the company's unified bundle, which combines allow listing, network controls, threat detection, and managed response services. Jenkins emphasizes the importance of shifting the security paradigm from default allow to default deny and educating the market about robust cybersecurity practices.
