Summary
This detection rule monitors the modification of registry settings related to Windows Defender Tamper Protection. It specifically targets changes to the registry path that disable this feature, as indicated by the registry value set to `0x00000000`. Disabling Tamper Protection is a significant security risk; it can potentially allow adversaries to alter Windows Defender configurations without detection, giving them increased control over the environment. By leveraging Sysmon event logs (specifically EventID 12 and EventID 13), this analytic provides essential visibility into suspicious registry changes that may indicate malicious behavior, such as attempts to evade security measures.
