Additional Notes

https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Carbon-Black-Cloud-Windows/tkb-p/release_notes_windows
  • Some recent Windows Updates resulted in Microsoft OS files being delivered before their external catalog that is used to verify their digital signature was registered. This resulted in the files appearing as not signed on first inspection, which could lead to tamper protection blocks and user visible errors when launching repux. The CB sensor now reinspects operating system files that appear unsigned to reverify their digital signature and avoid the tamper blocks.
