Forrester Consulting has prepared a framework for organizations to evaluate potential Airlock Digital ROI
Through its TEI methodology, Forrester Consulting calculated a 224% return and $3.8M in net present value for a composite 20,000-endpoint enterprise.
Every customer interviewed reported no breaches after rolling out Airlock Digital.
For the composite enterprise, Forrester Consulting calculated that Airlock Digital reduced the risk of a breach by over 25%, strengthening cyber-resilience.
Forrester Consulting’s methodology confirmed that, for the composite organization, a single analyst could manage application control through Airlock Digital in ~30 minutes per day — only 2.5 hours per week. This, in our opinion, validates Airlock Digital’s low-touch operational model at scale.
Commenting on the Forrester Consulting TEI study, David Cottingham, Chief Executive Officer, Airlock Digital, said:
“For modern enterprises, trust cannot be assumed... it must be enforced. Allowlisting and application control gives organizations the power to run only what they trust, blocking all malware and ransomware before they can execute. For us, the Forrester Consulting TEI study reinforces the importance of our mission at Airlock Digital, which is to deliver proactive endpoint security that makes application control not just possible, but effortless. It’s why we have become synonymous with this critical layer of cyber defense—and why every organization needs it at the core of their security strategy.”
Patrick Dillon, Chief Revenue Officer, Airlock Digital, said:
“The Forrester Consulting TEI study gives security leaders, in our opinion, clear, independent validation of the impact delivered by Airlock Digital. Forrester Consulting calculated the benefits to include a 224% ROI and fast payback — and most importantly — participating organizations reported zero breaches after implementation. Airlock Digital combines simplicity with enterprise-grade scale, enforcing a Deny by Default posture that blocks untrusted code, including malware and ransomware. For organizations ready to move from reactive defenses to proactive prevention, Airlock Digital provides a quantified and operationally efficient path forward — requiring, according to the Forrester Consulting study, only 2.5 hours per week to manage. We’d be glad to walk you through the findings.”
Organizations with sensitive data or critical infrastructure are turning in increasing numbers to allowlisting for compliance and effective defense against sophisticated cyber threats.
That’s why it’s time to help cybersecurity leaders quantify the value of application control, including allowlisting and blocklisting.
