Case Study: Advantage IT Management achieves zero-trust protection and peace of mind with ThreatLocker

Advantage IT Management Turns to ThreatLocker for Zero Trust

Advantage IT Management, an MSP based in Mobile, Ala., and led by CEO Matt Wilson, turned to ThreatLocker after high-profile ransomware attacks raised concerns about MSP tool exploitation. Wilson evaluated options and chose ThreatLocker’s zero-trust, policy-driven security solution—including application whitelisting, ringfencing, and data storage control—to address customer questions about preventing their tools from being used against them.

ThreatLocker was deployed using its learning mode, storage-control features, and automated application-elevation workflows, then rolled out to all customers with minimal disruption. The implementation reduced alert noise at cutover, prevented unauthorized software and dangerous links from running, and allows on-demand admin access per application; ThreatLocker also supported onboarding with unified audits and training. As a result, Advantage IT Management reports stronger ransomware protection, smoother operations for clients, and greater peace of mind for the team.
