Airlock Digital
Deny by default at the endpoint.
Airlock Digital delivers application allowlisting and ringfencing, an Australian-built, deny-by-default approach that stops untrusted code before it runs. It is the strongest answer to Essential Eight application control.
What we deliver with it
- ✓Application allowlisting
- ✓Ringfencing of trusted applications
- ✓Deny-by-default execution control
- ✓Essential Eight application control maturity
Only trusted code runs. Everything else is denied.
Application control is the single most effective Essential Eight mitigation, and the hardest to operate. Airlock Digital, built in Australia, makes deny-by-default allowlisting practical to run at scale.
Application allowlisting
Deny-by-default execution: only approved applications, scripts and installers can run.
Ringfencing & execution control
Constrain what trusted applications are allowed to do, limiting living-off-the-land attacks.
Essential Eight ready
Built to meet application control at Maturity Levels 2 and 3, where native tooling struggles.
Workflow-driven management
Approve and manage allowlists through a workflow operations teams can actually sustain.
Script & installer control
Govern PowerShell, scripts and installers, common malware delivery routes.
Visibility & audit
See every execution attempt and keep the evidence auditors and insurers ask for.
We chose Airlock because application control is the control that works.
The number-one mitigation
Done properly, allowlisting stops ransomware and unapproved tools before they run.
Operationally realistic
Most allowlisting fails on management overhead. Airlock is designed to be sustainable.
Australian-built
Local company, local support, and a genuine focus on the Essential Eight.
Airlock Digital is one piece. We design the whole system.
We back the best-fit technology in each domain, integrate it properly, and hand it over to you to run. No lock-ins, just results.
Application allowlisting that actually rolls out.
Australian-built, Essential Eight ready.
What is Airlock Digital?
An Australian-built application control (allowlisting) platform. It stops untrusted code from running on your endpoints, which is one of the most effective controls in the ACSC Essential Eight.
Why allowlisting over antivirus?
Antivirus blocks what is known to be bad. Allowlisting only permits what is explicitly known to be good. It is the difference between trying to keep up with every new threat versus fundamentally not letting unknown software run.
Is it disruptive to roll out?
Less than people fear. Airlock’s audit-first workflow learns what your environment runs, builds a baseline, and then enforces without breaking everyone’s day. We typically run audit mode for four to six weeks before enforcing.
Does it cover Mac and Linux?
Yes. Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints, all from the same console.
How does it help with Essential Eight?
It is the primary control for Application Control (E8 Strategy 1) and supports User Application Hardening (Strategy 2) and Macro restrictions (Strategy 3). Pairs with patching (Patch My PC) for the device-side strategies.
Why pick an Australian vendor?
Local support, data sovereignty, and a team that knows the Australian compliance landscape (ACSC, IRAP). For government and regulated industries, sovereignty matters.
