ThreatLocker is an Application Whitelisting tool that is used to protect you from ransomware attacks and stop malicious files from running in your environment.\\

**Requesting a New Application**\\
When you try to run a program that is not permitted (not Whitelisted), you will receive a popup informing you that the program is blocked.\\

If this is a program that you don't need for business, and not having this program is not interfering with your work, choose **Don't show again**. Then you will not be bothered with this popup again in the future for this program; it will be silently blocked.\\

If you need this program for work, choose **Request Access**. The following window will open.\\
