In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli sit down with Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, to unpack how the company is reshaping endpoint security through a unique, control-first approach. Rob shares how ThreatLocker is challenging long-held assumptions about trust, visibility, and control in enterprise environments—and why the traditional “trust but verify” model is no longer good enough.From Default Permit to Default DenyThreatLocker's philosophy centers on a fundamental shift: moving from a default permit posture to a default deny stance. This approach, according to Rob, doesn't hinder operations—it creates boundaries that allow organizations to function safely and efficiently. It's not about locking systems down; it's about granting permissions with precision, so users can operate without even noticing security is present.Product Innovation Driven by Real FeedbackThe conversation highlights how customer input—and CEO Danny Jenkins' relentless presence at industry events—drives product development. New solutions like Web Control and Patch Management are designed as logical extensions of existing tools, allowing security teams to reduce risk without creating friction for end users. The addition of a software store, suggested by enterprise customers, gives users clarity on what's approved while reducing IT support tickets.Insights and the Detect DashboardRob also explains how ThreatLocker is unlocking the value of big data. With billions of data points collected every hour, their new Insights platform aggregates and analyzes cross-customer trends to better inform security decisions. Combined with the Detect Dashboard, teams now gain not only visibility but actionable intelligence—supported by polished visuals and streamlined workflows.More Than Just Tech—It's Peace of MindWhile the technology is impressive, Rob says the most rewarding feedback is simple: “ThreatLocker helps me sleep at night.” For many customers, that level of confidence is priceless. And in unexpected situations—like a blue-screen incident caused by third-party software—ThreatLocker has even been used to mitigate impacts in creative ways.Whether you're leading a global IT team or managing a growing MSP, this episode will make you think differently about how security fits into your operational strategy.

What happens when a company decides to redefine its identity? That's what I witnessed firsthand at the IT Press Tour in Silicon Valley, as CloudFabrix unveiled its transformation into Fabrix.ai—a move that marks more than just a rebrand, but a bold step into the future of AI-driven IT Operations. In this episode, I sit down with Raju Datla, CEO of Fabrix.ai, to explore this pivotal shift and the launch of their Agentic AI Operational Platform. We discuss why the evolution from CloudFabrix to Fabrix.ai is not just about a name change but revolutionizing how IT operations leverage AI agents for autonomous workflows, predictive analytics, and automated remediation. Fabrix.ai introduces Agentic AI, a new paradigm where AI-driven agents operate independently to solve IT challenges—without constant human intervention. These agents can detect anomalies, manage SLAs, predict system failures, and execute automated fixes. But how does this compare to traditional AIOps and ML-driven approaches? And what safeguards are in place to prevent AI hallucinations, bias, and errors in critical IT workflows? We'll unpack how Fabrix.ai's three foundational fabrics—AI Fabric, Automation Fabric, and Data Fabric—transform enterprise IT by combining AI-powered reasoning, real-time data processing, and intelligent automation. Raju shares insights into how large enterprises and telcos leverage this technology and how Fabrix.ai works with industry giants like Cisco, IBM, and Splunk to reshape IT operations. Beyond the tech, we dive into leadership lessons from a serial entrepreneur—how Raju has built a loyal team across multiple ventures, the mindset needed to create sustainable, high-impact businesses, and why passion should always come before profit. So, what does the future hold as we stand at the crossroads of AI-driven automation and IT modernization? Will Agentic AI usher in the long-promised era of fully autonomous enterprises? What are your thoughts? Could AI-driven agents transform IT as we know it? Let's continue the conversation.
