Transforming Cybersecurity with Essential Eight by Building Robust Security Structures with a Default Deny Approach | A Brand Story Conversation From AISA Cyber Con 2024 in Melbourne | A ThreatLocker Story with Jade Wilkie

During AISA Cyber Con 2024 in Melbourne, Sean Martin connected with Jade Wilkie from ThreatLocker. Wilkie, who is currently an account executive and soon to assume a leadership role with the APAC sales team, discusses the significance of ThreatLocker’s presence at the event and their growth in the Australian market. With ThreatLocker’s APAC team attending for the first time, Wilkie emphasizes the importance of support on the ground as Australia has quickly become ThreatLocker’s second-largest market.

ThreatLocker’s approach, centered on a default deny methodology and zero trust framework, aligns well with Australia’s Essential Eight cybersecurity framework. Wilkie highlights that this strategy not only prevents unauthorized access but also reduces noise during detection and response processes. This makes the Essential 8 a solid foundation for cybersecurity, offering a straightforward and effective structure that companies can implement.

At their booth, ThreatLocker aims to raise awareness about their comprehensive offerings beyond application control, including EDR and MDR, and network control modules. Wilkie invites attendees to engage with the team to understand how ThreatLocker’s solutions can fortify their security structures.

The episode teases an upcoming conversation at Zero Trust World in Orlando, where Sean Martin and Jade Wilkie will further explore the event’s takeaways and discuss emerging themes and trends in the cybersecurity space.
