At Zero Trust World #ZTW26 in Orlando, we speak with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, about the platform development and benefits of bringing partners and clients together annually at ZTW.
Allen explains how product development is heavily driven by customer feedback, advisory boards, and real-world user experience, with thousands of conversations at events like Zero Trust World helping shape new features. ThreatLocker also uses its own platform internally, allowing the team to continuously refine the product based on real operational needs.
The discussion explores the next wave of security challenges, including agentic AI, accelerating malware creation, and the need for stronger default-deny protections. Allen highlights how technologies like ring fencing and application control can help organisations safely adopt AI tools while preventing malicious activity.
We also touch on ThreatLocker’s global growth, including rapid expansion of data centres worldwide, helping reduce latency and meet data sovereignty requirements across regions such as Australia, Europe and the Middle East.
Zero Trust World is held annually in Orlando, Florida with IT professionals from 28 countries in attendance.
Zero Trust World aims to empower IT professionals to embrace a default-deny security posture and build stronger, more resilient cybersecurity frameworks. Attendees gain a deeper understanding of both known and unknown cyber threats and gain actionable strategies to secure their environments and elevate their cybersecurity efforts. Plus, it’s a unique opportunity to network and collaborate with the brightest minds in the industry.
