Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2025, Sydney, Australia, 6th March: ThreatLocker CEO and Co-Founder Danny Jenkins spoke at this year’s Gartner® Security & Risk Management Summit, which took place March 3-4, 2025 in Sydney. As a leading expert in cybersecurity, Jenkins joined an impressive lineup of speakers where he discussed the prevalence of malicious or weaponised software lurking as an everyday risk.
On March 3, Jenkins’ talk, titled ‘ThreatLocker: Ransomware Case Studies’, took a deep dive look at the evolution of ransomware, explored real case studies of rogue code, the impact of an attack and shared how businesses can protect their organisations today.
In our view, Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit brought together experts, thought leaders and innovators to explore the evolving landscape of security and digital risks. The 2-day summit gave attendees valuable insights on pressing issues that are affecting the industry such as generative AI’s role in cybersecurity, security governance and metrics, and more.
“We believe that The Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit is an important industry event where we address the escalating cyber threats businesses face daily,” said Jenkins. “Ransomware is becoming more deceptive and destructive. Businesses can no longer rely on reactive security measures. ThreatLocker Zero Trust approach eliminates the assumption of trust, ensuring that only explicitly authorised applications and processes can run. With our solutions, we stop ransomware and unknown threats before they can even execute.”
Ransomware and other malicious software can copy or encrypt files in a few minutes. ThreatLocker® uses a more logical approach to stop viruses and malware from affecting businesses. ThreatLocker® Application Control uses a combination of default deny and Ringfencing™ to protect your business from known and unknown malware threats.
- Zero-Day Attacks: ThreatLocker® protects against vulnerabilities that haven’t even been discovered yet
- Macro Viruses: Malware embedded in trusted programs such as Office can’t overcome ThreatLocker® Ringfencing™
- Fileless Malware: Even malware that hides in memory can’t sneak in; if its code isn’t on the trusted list, it isn’t getting access
- Ransomware: Ringfencing™ lets users dictate how apps interact with data; if a program tries to encrypt data it isn’t authorised to, it will be blocked
The Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit took place at the ICC Sydney.
