Update: Windows EDR Tamper Protection

In October 2024, we enhanced security by implementing Agent Tamper Protection, which blocks local agent uninstallation to prevent attackers from disabling defenses.

We’ve since updated the Huntress dashboard to remove the ability to indefinitely turn Tamper Protection On/Off, limiting Tamper Protection overrides to 4 hours. This ensures temporary adjustments don’t leave systems vulnerable, addressing risks of misconfiguration.
