<p>Tamper protection is preventing unwanted changes to security settings on Windows 10 devices. When enabled it can prevent malware from disabling Windows Defender protection services.</p>
<p>Real-time protection, cloud-delivered protection, Behavior monitoring, and Security intelligence updates are some of the services that will now be protected from modification by malware apps or unknown users.</p>
<p>For Home users, Tampered Protection will be enabled by default although you will be able to turn it off, even though there is no good reason to do so.</p>
<p>Business organizations will be able to deploy and manage <em>Tamper protection</em> for their users using Intune with the option to enable the feature for specified devices, user groups or even entire organization.</p>
<p>The development of the Tamper protection feature is a result of extensive research and consistent engagement and feedback from Microsoft customers and partners.</p>
