 ThreatLocker Increases Zero Trust Campaign, Appoints Security Expert As Chief Architect for Mac Security

Slava Konstantinov, the Chief Architect of ThreatLocker Mac Security, says he is excited to be leading the Mac team. "We are striving to go above and beyond by offering all of Windows' zero trust features."

Leading Apple security expert Slava Konstantinov has joined MSP security giant ThreatLocker as the principal designer of Mac security and development, a move that will intensify the company's zero trust security efforts.

Danny Jenkins, the CEO of ThreatLocker, gave gratitude to Konstantinov, who has served as the company's consultant for the last two years, for contributing the expertise and know-how that allowed ThreatLocker to be included on Apple's zero trust security map.

Jenkins said that Konstantinov really broke the code that allowed ThreatLocker to offer its initial zero trust technology for Mac operating systems earlier this year.

"Though it is a different beast, Apple contains numerous of the same problems as Windows; until we hired Slava, safeguarding the Mac was a big challenge for ThreatLocker," Jenkins said. "Slava has contributed immensely to ThreatLocker's solution, not just for Mac but for our whole platform."

Jenkins said that Konstantinov transformed ThreatLocker's course, turning it from a Windows-only zero trust supplier for MSPs to a multiplatform solution with Apple zero trust features.

According to Jenkins, "businesses that were forced to either block the use of Macs or face gaping security holes, leaving Mac users defenseless." "Now, companies using ThreatLocker may be safeguarded, including those in the US, Canada, Europe, and other continents.”

According to Jenkins, the addition of Konstantinov as the head of the Mac zero trust team would significantly affect MSPs' capacity to protect Mac endpoints.

The future of how we can give zero trust on the Mac and the positive impact we can make to the MSP community to guarantee Mac endpoints are safe has changed with Slava joining the team full-time as the team leader, he added. Underserved in the Mac security space, MSPs are having difficulty acquiring the necessary equipment to provide zero trust Mac protection. The full-time addition of Slava to ThreatLocker will significantly alter our Mac zero trust roadmap.

Jenkins said that after working as a consultant for Konstantinov, he was persuaded that no one else was qualified to take on the ThreatLocker zero trust Mac issue.

"Having worked with Slava for the past two years, I have personally witnessed the impact he has had on the Mac community as well as ThreatLocker," he said. We were aware that no one else could lead the Mac security team more effectively than us. His skill set is critical to the interests of all of our clients and Mac users as well as to our own. He is among the wisest individuals I have ever encountered.

According to Jenkins, the business considers Konstantinov's leadership of the Macintosh security development project to be a "major priority." He said that "ThreatLocker has been made a leader in protecting Windows devices." "Having Slava take the helm of the Mac security effort is essential to our business's growth and safeguarding our clients from ransomware and international cybercriminals. Our goal is to never see another Mac cyberattack.

The native of Ukraine, Konstantinov will work out of ThreatLocker's corporate office in Orlando. He expressed his excitement about being a member of the ThreatLocker "Cyber Hero" team.

Being able to guide the Mac team excites him, he said. "We are striving to go above and beyond by offering all of Windows' zero trust features."

With over 12 years of expertise developing security software, Konstantinov said that new Mac zero trust innovations are being powered by his partnership with his Windows security compatriots at ThreatLocker. "Having direct access to the Windows team to discuss ransomware and the execution issues is fantastic," he said. "Here, everyone is assisting one another to improve our products."

According to Jenkins, Konstantinov is assisting in busting the misconception that Macs are safer than Windows operating systems. "It's a common misconception among Mac users that Windows and Mac OS are open operating systems, meaning that any developer can create software for either platform," the speaker stated. "That implies malware can operate on Macs just like it can on Windows."

According to Konstantinov, there is a concerning increase in Mac zero trust vulnerabilities. "The number of Mac threats is increasing," he said. "It's becoming worse,"

The notable MSP in Buffalo, New York, David Stinner, the company's founder and of US itek, expressed his satisfaction with ThreatLocker's increased focus on Mac zero trust security.

"It's critical that businesses like US ITek and ThreatLocker inform consumers about Mac threats," he said. "All too often, sales prospects who manage Mac networks reject our cyber security solutions on the grounds that they believe Macs are safe by nature and don't need security measures. It is a widespread misunderstanding that Mac system owners continue to spread.

According to Stinner, he met a prospect who informed him that US itek's cybersecurity managed service was "absurd" since Macs don't need security protection. The prospect had an all-Mac setup.

"It has happened to me multiple times due to the false belief held by Mac owners that their computers are intrinsically safe from online attacks," the man said. "ThreatLocker hopes to debunk this myth by increasing its Mac zero trust efforts." Danny Jenkins and the ThreatLocker team deserve praise for their investment in Mac zero trust.
