Restrict service behavior
Define what service processes are expected to launch, touch, and reach so unusual behavior is no longer normal background noise.
Service containment for Windows environments
Limit what compromised services can do next.
ServiceLocker constrains service behavior so compromised workloads have fewer paths to move laterally, escalate privilege, or quietly stage follow-on activity.

What it changes
Fewer quiet wins after the first compromise.
Reduce lateral movement
Constrain service-originated access patterns that attackers often abuse to pivot across servers and workstations.
Expose privilege abuse
Turn suspicious service behavior into alertable events before it becomes credential theft, persistence, or broad administrative control.
