Question
What is the impact of disabling "Use Windows Security Center" in the policy?
Answer
- If "Use Windows Security Center" is enabled, then Carbon Black Cloud is listed as the antivirus provider on the device.
- If "Use Windows Security Center" is disabled, then Carbon Black Cloud is NOT listed as the antivirus provider on the device.
Additional Notes
- Windows Security Center (WSC) requires Windows devices to have an antivirus provider.
- The Carbon Black Cloud is a Microsoft-certified antivirus provider for WSC.
- The "Use Windows Security Center" option is enabled by default in the default (Standard) policy group.
- You can disable WSC integration at any time; Doing so does not disable sensor protection
- Endpoint Standard orgs provisioned before July 2017 will need to enable WSC in policy sensor settings.
