Introducing tamper protection for exclusions
One of the most requested features for tamper protection is protection of antivirus exclusions. With that in mind, the Microsoft Defender team has implemented new functionality that allows (path, process, and extension) to be protected when deployed with Intune.Tamper protection will be turned on for all enterprise customers
Starting last year, to better protect our customers from ransomware attacks we turned on tamper protection by default for all new customers with Defender for Endpoint Plan 2 or Microsoft 365 E5 licenses. To further protect our customers, we are announcing that tamper protection will be turned on for all existing customers, unless it has been explicitly turned off in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. For customers who haven’t already configured tamper protection, they’ll soon receive a notification stating that it will be turned on in 30 days. For example, public preview customers receive a notification on September 21, 2022 indicating that tamper protection will be turned on 30 days later, on October 24, 2022.
