What is the purpose of the Tamper Protection feature?

The Tamper Protection feature is specifically designed to safeguard the security configurations of an endpoint or server by preventing unauthorized changes to protection settings. This means that it helps ensure that only authorized users can make alterations to security policies, configurations, or other critical settings. By locking these settings down, it reduces the risk of an attacker disabling or altering security measures, which could lead to vulnerabilities within the system.

This feature is particularly important in environments where sensitive data must be protected from malicious activity. As cyber threats continue to evolve, maintaining the integrity of security settings is crucial for effective endpoint protection. Therefore, having robust tamper protection is a vital aspect of maintaining a secure operational environment.

The other options, while relevant to security and system management, do not directly relate to the primary function of preventing unauthorized changes to protection settings. Enhancing firewall settings, allowing file transfers, and managing software updates are important tasks in IT management but do not encapsulate the specific goal of the Tamper Protection feature.
