Password protect installation

in progress

Users may not know the software and or don't want it because IT installed it. Would be nice to password protect the installation to require a PIN or something to remove.

Great! Tamper protection via the portal would be good

Afternoon All, 
Apologies we've been a little quiet on this suggestion, just to give everyone an update, we are currently working in a closed beta to test out the functionality we've created so far within our Tamper Protection feature and are gathering feedback, thank you all for your patience on this and continuing to check in on progress! 
We should have some good news for you all very soon, keep on checking in with us and suggesting anything you'd like to see in the future!

This is a pretty big oversight and nearly defeats the purpose of having Huntress installed, given that it can very easily be uninstalled by a user. If a bad actor gains access to a PC, they are likely to know that Huntress can easily be removed, and this would be one of their first actions.

It would be nice to have anti tampering protection so users can not disable or uninstall or do anything with huntress without any protection, password, PIN, approval.

any update ?
this is a a major MUST
when looking to replace current AV for some clients this is a must as they can just turn huntress and MAV off without us knowing

Gilberto

Any update with this feature. We have customers requesting this!

Doug Thomas

Huntress team, can you give us an update on this?

Jared Aylmore

How is this progressing through development?

I know that best practice is for users to not have admin rights. However, some client users bring their own devices and we manage them. I wish there was some sort of tamper protection to prevent an attacker from disabling Huntress.

We are beginning work to add tamper protection (including uninstallation safeguards) to the Huntress agent. Stay tuned for more details!

Robert Dana you must have sensed me looking at this post again today :)

Ryan Wilderman: We've finished the work on adding this functionality to our driver, and now we need to finish the work to tie it into our agent and the portal.

This is still in progress and we will be very excited to let you know when it is finished!

Taylor Bryant - Even like a network isolation event if an uninstall attempt was performed without putting it in maintenance mode in the console or something first...

Jarrod Solomon

Robert Dana I'm looking forward to seeing this get implemented.
