Tamper Protection

dw-ecl

Just wondering if there is any chance in future releases of the tamper protection feature being extended to include the application control settings (well, I say settings but I really meam stopping them from disabling it?)

Thanks,

    If you are in a AD environment

    That's an IF - this additional level is not available in non-AD environments.

    Let me put it this way (my personal opinion) - even though the product has control in its name, Sophos does not believe in "absolute control". Controlling risks, malware and the like - yes. Controlling users - NO. It's protecting, helping, educating (not only users but also administrators, BTW). Enforcing is a "last measure" - something you should not need. But as with a child (and sometimes adults too) you have to "take control" in certain situations. Educating administrators you have to give them more control over their users (we had already policy compliance indication and policy "reset"). Administrators and "local" administrators should be allies and not fighting each other. Tamper protection does not hide the inaccessible options in the GUI - something Sophos could have done. They have chosen no to ... think about, why.
