    This method shows how to use Threatlocker’s built-in policy to allow the ConnectSecure application to use PowerShell when ringfencing is blocking downloads for patching.

    Note: Threatlocker built-ins will only work for top-level and child orgs, but they do not propagate down to a grandchild org if you have sub-orgs of orgs.

    Setup Instructions

    • Log in to your ThreatLocker instance and navigate to Modules > Application Control.
