What does Threatlocker do while in automatic learning mode?

Threatlocker, while in automatic learning mode, is designed to observe and learn the behaviors of applications in a controlled environment. This mode allows Threatlocker to monitor the network traffic generated by applications to identify the IP addresses they communicate with. By doing so, it builds a database of trusted connections and behaviors, which can later inform security policies for those applications.

The focus on learning IP addresses helps enhance the profiling of applications, allowing for more proactive and precise security measures. This capability ensures that only verified and necessary connections are allowed, which can significantly reduce the risk of malicious activity.
