Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify when the Windows Security Center notifications have been suppressed by changing the registry setting related to Windows Defender's user experience. Specifically, it detects modifications to the 'Notification_Suppress' DWORD value under the Microsoft Windows Defender UX Configuration in the Windows Registry. A setting of '1' indicates that notification suppression is enabled, meaning that users may not receive crucial alerts about their system's security status. The rule leverages the registry set log source, focusing on detecting entries that end with the specified path and value. This is particularly relevant for monitoring malicious attempts to evade defenses by manipulating system alerts, thus ensuring compliance and security vigilance in Windows environments.
