Is Tamper Protection enabled by default in Sophos Central?

Tamper Protection is designed to prevent unauthorized users, including potential attackers, from disabling or uninstalling security solutions provided by Sophos. When enabled, it ensures that even if a machine is compromised, the core protective functions remain active, providing a crucial layer of security.

In Sophos Central, Tamper Protection is indeed enabled by default for all accounts, offering immediate protection without requiring users to configure additional settings at installation. This proactive approach means that all customers benefit from this security feature right from the outset, without needing to be enterprise accounts or waiting for configuration by an administrator.

This ensures a consistent level of protection across the board, safeguarding both smaller and larger organizations alike from potential risks associated with tampering. The default setting allows organizations to focus on other critical aspects of their security strategy, knowing that the foundational protection is already in place.
