What is the purpose of storage control in ThreatLocker?

The purpose of storage control in ThreatLocker is primarily focused on creating policies that protect against data theft. This feature is designed to restrict access to sensitive data and ensure that only authorized applications and users can interact with that data. By implementing specific policies, organizations can effectively mitigate risks such as data breaches or unauthorized access, thereby maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of their data.

Storage control works as a preventative measure, enabling organizations to prohibit potentially harmful actions by applications that could lead to data exfiltration or loss. This capability not only enhances security but also helps organizations comply with various regulatory requirements regarding data protection.

In contrast, limiting network traffic is more related to network security practices, monitoring application usage pertains to understanding user behavior with applications, and analyzing system performance focuses purely on the efficiency and effectiveness of the systems in use. These elements are essential for overall system management but do not directly relate to the specific function of storage control in preventing data theft.
