It's great to see @microsoft implementing protection for #windowsdefender as I've been seeing some attacks going after Defender and disabling it. Many products offer such features, like @Webroot and @Sophos. https://t.co/9UK1RjFnee

Using Windows 10 and not using Tamper Protection? Make sure to enable it and keep it enabled. There is only upside and no downside.

Why use it you may ask? Well, it would prevent the following types of attacks.#Windows10 @WindowsATP @msftsecurity

Not sure if this applies to SCCM, but it can't work with GPO, at least, because of the way GPOs work. That is, a GPO is doing basically the same thing that a script could do, which means there's no guarantee that protection isn't being disabled by a malicious script.

But, I am guessing SCCM does something that's above and beyond this, so maybe this doesn't apply.

Kind of wish we could get a GPOv2 where this wouldn't apply, too.
