Most breaches don't start with a zero-day — they start because something unexpected was allowed to run. One way organizations reduce risk is by shrinking the attack surface: deciding what software should be allowed to execute and blocking everything else by default. Fewer unknowns means fewer opportunities for attackers. Learn more at ThreatLocker.com
